If it's summer, there will be smoke. So, from Monday until yesterday, heavy smoke over the lake reduced visibility to about a mile. The source was probably the Butte Fire down the hill in the northern Sacramento Valley. The Mariposa Fire, near Yosemite, could also be a factor given its size and location. That fire has spread over 75000 acres.
Today, the weather is perfect: clear and warm, no smoke. The Mayor just returned from Truckee after dropping off the Minister of Aviation who is travelling to Oshkosh, WI to attend the annual aviation convention that draws a half million pilots, engineers, and historians who hope to stay up with the latest innovations in aircraft, technology, and discuss all the latest problems in the business. Hopefully, some of the airlines will be present to listen to their clients who are generally disgucted with everything to do with commercial aviation which has turned against all passengers in the name of profits over comfort and ease of travel. He'll be piloting his own plane, stopping enroute to refuel and rest. His two companions, also pilots, will enjoy a nice trip.
