Hello Maurice!

 AA>> Can you see the smoke from your vantage point?

 MK> Only the last couple of days and I think it is coming from
 MK> the north island and not the major ones in the Shuswap
 MK> (Secwepemcúĺecw on Turtle Island) or Kelowna.  This year
 MK> hasn't been bad for smoke like other years despite the
 MK> continued devastation on the mainland.

firesmoke.ca seems to indicate at least two wildfires to the  
north on your island.


 MK> Speaking of bad weather, I hear the Ottawa Valley has
 MK> become Canada's new tornado alley.

I haven't anyone refer to the recent double-strike of tornados  
in one week as tornado alley, but it could fit.


 MK> How about yourself?  I haven't heard much about your local
 MK> disaster scene(s) or have youse managed to escape it thus
 MK> far.

The smoke from the wildfires from the north have diminished in  
my part of the province (near Algonquin Park).  It was nice to  
actually breathe some fresh untainted air for several days.   
Now.. it's been a bit hazy and smog-like from the smoke again.
