We have forest fires around us in all directions. Nothing even remotely close but on days when there are little wind, we have had weather advisaries here in the valley to stay inside due to the heavy smoke. On Wednesday flying back from Houston, on the 2nd leg of the flight from SLC to Lewiston, we rode with a Forest Service HotShot team from AZ on the flight. After arriving home, our neighbors informed us that bus loads of firefighters have been leaving the airport. We live near the Nez Perce Country Regional airport BTW.

Queen Elizabeth II attended the Highland Games at Braemar in Scotland on Saturday alongside her husband Prince Philip, who was making his second public appearance since being hospitalised last month.
Organisers had feared Philip, 91, would not be able to attend after he spent five nights in hospital in Aberdeen receiving treatment for a recurrence of a bladder infection before being discharged on August 20.
The royal family make an annual outing to the Braemar Gathering, a short distance for their summer residence at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire where Philip has been recuperating.
Philip defied the cold and damp conditions to accompany the queen, who is patron of the Games, to watch a series of traditional events including caber-tossing, hammer-throwing and the tug of war.
The Duke of Edinburgh, as he is formally known, had first been admitted to hospital with the infection in June, forcing him to miss the end of the diamond jubilee celebrations marking his wife's 60th year on the throne.
Last weekend, the duke made his first public appearance since leaving hospital when he attended a church service at Crathie Kirk, near Balmoral.
The Games, held at the Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park in the village of Braemar, take place on the first Saturday of each September and regularly attract visitors from around the world.
The Gathering is seen as the biggest event in the Highland Games calendar and has a long history, stretching back in its modern form nearly 200 years.

Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
By NBC News wire services
Updated at 10:55 a.m. ET: Stocks were higher Friday as investors stepped back into equities and examined a key speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
The Dow Jones industrial average was lately up over 130 points.
Bernanke, addressing a symposium of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, said the Fed can do more to help the economy, but did not say the Fed is actively considering any specific plan to help the market, such as a round of bond purchases to lower long-term interest rates.
World markets have been on edge for weeks waiting to hear what Bernanke will say in Wyoming.
Trading was thin this week and lacking dramatic price moves, though investors decisively took profits on Thursday. Stocks dropped solidly, with the Nasdaq down more than 1 percent and the S&P closing below 1,400 for the first time since August 6.
Despite Friday?s gains, equities look to end the week little changed.
Markets have advanced in recent months, buoyed by expectations for more help from the Fed. Thursday's retreat could indicate that the market is now less vulnerable for a selloff, though financial market participants were cautious ahead of the Fed speech. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard told Bloomberg TV that policymakers should wait and consider more economic data before making any big policy moves.
Investors are also looking ahead to a meeting of the European Central Bank next Thursday that is expected to take pressure off highly indebted countries. Comments from European Central Bank Executive Board member Benoit Coeure rekindled expectations for central bank action.
Sectors tied to the pace of economic growth, including energy and financials, are likely to be impacted the most by Bernanke's remarks. Defensive groups like utilities or health care may have a more muted reaction.
In the week to date, the S&P has dropped 0.8 percent, though the index barely budged over the first three sessions of the week - declining just 0.05 percent. The Dow is down 1.2 percent for the week and the Nasdaq is off 0.7 percent.
Turnover has been paltry, with this week's four days so far being among the five lowest in terms of volume this year.
Economic data over the past two weeks has been a little stronger than expected, and Reuters polls show investors and economists are more skeptical that the Fed will announce a new round of bond buying at its September meeting.
In company news, Google Inc Chief Executive Larry Page and Apple CEO Tim Cook have been conducting behind-the-scenes talks about a range of intellectual property matters, including the mobile patent disputes between the companies, people familiar with the matter said.
Science Applications International Corp said late Thursday it plans to split into two independently traded companies to bid for more contracts which they cannot do now due to conflict-of-interest regulations.
Reuters contributed to this report.

VATICAN CITY (AP) ? Italian Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, a rare liberal within the highly conservative Catholic Church hierarchy who was nevertheless considered a papal contender in the last conclave, died Friday. He was 85.
Martini, a Jesuit and former archbishop of the important archdiocese of Milan, had been battling Parkinson's disease for several years. His death at a Jesuit institute in Gallarate, near Varese, was announced by the Milan archdiocese, which said his condition had worsened Thursday evening.
Martini frequently voiced openness to discuss divisive issues for the church, such as priestly celibacy, homosexuality and using condoms to fight HIV transmission. While not at odds with church teaching, his views nevertheless showed his progressive bent. He was an intellectual and a noted biblical scholar, yet he had a warm and personable style and seemed to connect with his flock like few high-ranking prelates.
And, despite his liberal views in a College of Cardinals that grew increasingly conservative under Pope John Paul II, he was considered "papabile," or having the qualities of a pope, going into the 2005 conclave that brought the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, to the papacy.
Benedict was told Thursday that Martini's death was near, and on Friday issued a heartfelt letter of condolence, praising his "dear brother" for serving the church generously and faithfully for so long. He cited Martini's tenure as rector of the Jesuit's Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome and of the Pontifical Biblical Institute as well as his "diligent and sage" leadership of Milan's Catholic faithful.
Martini was well known and well-liked by Italians, many of whom got to know him by his frequent contributions to leading daily Corriere della Sera, which for three years ran a popular column "Letters to Cardinal Martini," in which Martini would respond directly to questions submitted by readers.
The topics covered everything from the clerical sex abuse scandal to whether it was morally acceptable for a Catholic to be cremated ("it's possible and allowed," he wrote). His responses were filled with Biblical citations and references to church teachings, but were accessible as well, written as if he were chatting with his readers rather than preaching to them.
Martini also wasn't afraid to discuss issues that, while important to many lay Catholics, are usually considered off-limits by his colleagues.
In 2006, he raised eyebrows at the Vatican when he told the Italian weekly L'Espresso that condoms could be considered a "lesser evil" in combating AIDS, particularly for a married couple. While somewhat revolutionary at the time, his views seem to have struck a chord: Four years later, Benedict himself came close to echoing Martini's sentiment when he said a male prostitute who intends to use a condom might be taking a step toward a more responsible sexuality because he was looking out for the welfare of his partner.
In 2009, Martini insisted he was misquoted by a German publication as calling for a re-evaluation of priestly celibacy as a means to combat pedophilia among priests.
But he returned to the topic of priestly celibacy earlier this year? as well as a host of other thorny issues like artificial procreation, embryo donation and euthanasia ? in his last book "Believe and Know," a conversation with a left-leaning Italian politician and doctor who had been his same interviewer for the 2006 Espresso article.
As a result of his openness to discussing sensitive issues, liberal Catholics had pinned their hopes on Martini going into the 2005 conclave, and some reports in the Italian media said he had received significant votes in the initial rounds of balloting.
But according to the most detailed account of the conclave to emerge ? that of a purported diary kept by an unnamed cardinal ? Martini was never really in the running. Instead, Ratzinger's main challenger was another conservative, Argentine Cardinal Jorge Maria Bergoglio.
Martini retired as Milan archbishop in 2002 and moved to Jerusalem to devote himself to prayer and study. He had long established relations with the Jewish community, writing books and articles on the relations between Christianity and Judaism.
"Without a sincere feeling for the Jewish world, and a direct experience of it, one cannot fully understand Christianity," he wrote in the book "Christianity and Judaism: A Historical and Theological Overview." ''Jesus is fully Jewish, the apostles are Jewish, and one cannot doubt their attachment to the traditions of their forefathers."
Born on Feb. 15, 1927, in Turin, Martini was ordained a priest in the Society of Jesus in 1952. After terms as rector at the Gregorian and Biblical Institute, he was named archbishop of Milan in 1979 and held the post until his retirement in 2002; within that time he was also head of the European Bishops' Conference for six years, until 1993.
In a statement Friday, the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi paid tribute to his fellow Jesuit, saying his style as a pastor set him apart. He quoted Martini as writing in his book "The Bishop" that a bishop can't guide his flock with decrees and prohibitions alone.
"Instead point to the interior formation, on the love and fascination with the Sacred Scripture, present the positive reasons for what we do according to the Gospel," Martini wrote. "You will obtain much more than with rigid calls to observe norms."
Despite his desire to spend his final years in Jerusalem, Martini returned to Italy a few years ago as his Parkinson's worsened. By the end, he was wheelchair bound and could barely speak.
In June, he announced he could no longer continue with his Corriere della Sera Q&A column.
"The time has come in which age and sickness have given me a clear signal that it's time to resign from earthly things and prepare for the next coming of the Kingdom," he wrote his readers. "I assure you of my prayers for all the questions that went unanswered."
A funeral was scheduled for Monday in Milan's cathedral, where bells tolled on Friday afternoon upon word of Martini's death.
