    That's 4230 square kilometres (and growing). To put that in perspective, Prince Edward Island is 5660 square kilometres. New York city, 789 square kilometres.

    Didn't you haul the first load of lumber to that project known as Noah's ark.

    Ironically I was living near Barrierre at the time of that fire as well. Didn't get evacuated but we were on notice.

    Hope that rain is on its way up. I get to go home on June 1st so I'm glad about that. I'm down in one of the lower areas of town so hopefully there isn't much smoke damage at home. Thinking my fridge is gonna be a disaster though but I heard some parts of town had power the whole time so it might be ok. Won't know for sure for another week and a half.

    Yeah I guess I gotta shave. Was trying to see if I could get a Billy Gibbons beard going in my time off but I'm still about a foot short. If my place has major smoke damage my company has a camp room booked for me so I'm thankful for that.
