I was thinking of a title for this and then I thought that the title from yesterdays, turned into 'part 2' would work. I really like making up these work place senarios.

Commenting should be restored today or tomorrow.

Something very uncool is happening right now in BC. Burns bog is on fire. Burns bog is located in Delta, I live in Surrey. The driving distance between Delta is anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes. Yesterday it was fine here, but last NIGHT, when I came home from seeing Batman Begins, I stepped out of the car and the air was (and still is) rank with the odor of burning. Burns bog is a peat bog...so thats on fire, and we're breathing it. You look outside and you can SEE the smoke, in the nieghborhood. I wouldnt call the situation scary, as 80% of the fire is 'contained', but the air quality is considered fair to poor. They are recommending that old people, children and people with asthma/breathing problems stay inside. When I came home last night {why the comic was delayed as it was 12:30am} we went into each room shutting the windows. The guest room had the door shut, but the window was wide open. I had left one of my tarantulas in there and when we went into the room it was absolutely RANCID and strong of smoke. Even my tarantula was all crumpled up looking [cant breathe!] so I took her out and she's fine. THey expect the fire to be out in a few days or possibly weeks. Great, Ill be dead by then. :(

Heres an article about it: here. They generalize the area by saying "outside of Vancouver" but its really in the Delta area. Look at this picture I took Here to get an idea of how smokey it actually is! :( Please dont expect me to be able to form really good complete sense making sentences---smoke. Smoke inhalation. Its affecting my spelling too. Lol.

Mmm, Batman! :D
