Yes but some days that’s all you see! Been a bad fire year all around l’m afraid. On the bright side if there is one, all the areas that burned this year won’t burn for another 40 . We are actually one of the sunniest places in Canada. Over the course of a year no matter where you are on the planet you get the same amount of darkness and light. Just depends on latitude as to how much on a given date. Right on the equator it’s pretty much 12 and 12 all the time. Come back and visit sometime, you would probably be surprised at the changes.
