, Speed , no matter how we may disagree on certain topics , you ARE one of us , us dwindling few who are fascinated with flying machines , and yes indeed I'd be sad as Hell if you were hurt by those fires .
Believe it or not , the smoke from those fires actually reached the east coast and for a few mornings we had really weird looking sunrises due to the smoke , so I'll bet it was brutal there .
