Ah, camping! I love to do it, even on short notice, as long as the weather cooperates. The problem right now is that the mosquitoes require bringing an extra pint or two of blood.
It was nice to have good weather for your brother's graduation party (and the campfire that followed!). This week looks quite seasonal, a little drier than what we've had lately.
The Channel 5 meteorologist noted that the hazy skies we've had lately are due to smoke from big forest fires in northwest Canada, and possibly also from those in the southwest US. The jet stream dips from Canada down toward us right now, bringing the smoke this direction.
This means the sky isn't quite blue by day and many of the stars are hidden at night, even if there aren't any clouds. Kind of an interesting effect.
