Uh oh

We'll, I don't know if you can see the smoke in the air with these pictures but it's REAAAAAALLLLLYYYY smoky here!

At first I thought it was the start of the burn-the-sugar-cane-fields season but a guy just told us it appears to be a brush fire in West Palm Beach that's smoking us out down here. 

Maybe Petey will find out for sure when he flys out tonight...

When we lived on the bayou in Louisiana they burned the cane and I had a TERRIBLE time with asthma :(  That was 28 years ago so we're hoping I've grown out of it...we'll see....



Update: we found out that the smoke is from the Everglades burning. They've shut down Alligator Alley...the road that runs across the state east to west and right through the middle of the Everglades.

They haven't received the normal amount of rain so the water level has dropped allowing the bottoms of the plants to dry out and become susceptible to catching fire. All it takes is one idiot throwing a cigarette butt out their car window  = (

SO thankful the smoke isn't from burning sugar cane! The guy we talked to said that that smoke never makes it this far south...great news for me  = ))
