Smores anyone?

For the past week or so, there has been an overwhelming aroma of campfire in the air. It's really quite a pleasant smell. I can surely think of worse things to smell as soon as you walk out your door. Like sewage or pesticide. Along with this pleasant aroma has come an unpleasant smoke that irritates the eyes and makes you feel gritty and limits your visibility while driving. Yep, it really feels like I'm camping while I'm at work. In case you haven't heard about it, there are many wildfires here in Volusia county and the smoke is blanketing Daytona Beach and the surrounding areas. Fortunately, we've gotten some rain today, so hopefully that will help to put them out. I really don't mind the smell, though, but the most annoying side effect is the desire to get a stick and skewer marshmellows or hot dogs at all times :)
