    A bit of excitement, the Alexander Peak fire. Not too much, its about 8 miles north of us.

This is from https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/usfs/map/#d:24hrs;@-105.21,40.34,12.25z . It’s satellite data showing hot spots. As you can see from the measure tool, the south edge of it is about 7.5 miles north, north west of us, so nothing to worry about. The wind has been out of the southwest all day, so it’s moving away from us. 

When Martin shot this, he didn’t know it was 7.5 miles away! This is shot from the roof of the garage and the wind was high enough to make the hand held shot a bit bouncy.
