Sunset in July

As we stepped from the Rotary Centre last night I remarked on the intensity of the sun. Tania said it looks that way because of the forest fires.

I had heard about forest fires near Ashcroft and Princeton earlier that day, but Tania had more recent news: the province had issued an evacuation order for Cache Creek.

When I turned on the radio this morning the province had taken things even further, declaring a state of emergency for all of B.C.
