Good morning, 60 presently with clear skies. No overnight rain after it stopping in yesterday's early evening. Cooler weather and sporadic rains have helped with fire prevention.

As of the 25th, "Firefighters across the Final Frontier are working to contain dozens of blazes that have forced evacuations and occasionally sent plumes of smoke drifting into the Lower 48.

According to the Alaska Interagency Coordination Center, nearly 200 wildfires are currently being monitored, with most burning in the interior region of the state.

Two of the larger blazes are the Bear Creek Fire and the Saint George Creek Fire, which are both burning outside Denali National Park, and together have scorched nearly 40,000 acres.

The Bear Creek Fire, the state's largest blaze of the year, is burning along Alaska State Highway 3 and has forced the temporary closure of the roadway about an hour southwest of Fairbanks.

Fire officials say cabins, power lines and cell towers in the region are among the infrastructure that has been threatened since its start on June 19 from a suspected lightning strike.

The Saint George Creek Fire, burning about 50 miles east of Bear Creek, has prompted structure protection efforts as crews work to safeguard buildings and other infrastructure."

The American Red Cross is staffing a shelter at a high school in Fairbanks for people displaced by the wildfire activity in Alaska."

OLM, I always thought it was strictly an expression of affection, but when I looked it up, it turns out to be more than that and softening up a placer to nap, it is also a mode of scent marking. I knew, like other animals, cats will scent mark, but what I didn't know is that they have scent glands in between their toes. So, marking their territory, and in cat moms, the scent released that has a calming effect on the kittens.

I spent most of the afternoon napping and reading to give my back a break. I'll probably spend the evening with more reading and/or watching some TV. Tomorrow a trip to the drug store and move the last of what I need to get out of the way for the new furniture installation.
