What an absolutely stunning night. Got this shot. I believe that is Aldebaran. Gonna see if Venus shows up later. Should be slightly below the moon?

Once in a great while I like to have a real fire, but the propane fire is so nice and clean like you say. I don’t go to bed reeking of smoke, lol.

Side note... we got one of those last year and now we use it by default over making a fire in the pit. So much easier and cleaner... and you aren't dodging smoke with every shift in the breeze.

I haven't worn jeans this month. Although I was home Wednesday and might have caved that evening. Definitely not today! I would have melted.

Maybe... but its consistent so I know where its warmer or cooler. Maple Valley was the warmest spot today that we saw. I am pretty sure our car we were driving today is really close to reality just based on years of driving it and intimately following weather.
