While up near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, Arnie and I ran across this scarecrow, a frightful sight for birds anyway. Some guy used his old red combinations to fashion a shirt tucked into his discarded jeans:

He was a real stuffed shirt!

Several of you have emailed asking about any trouble we might have had with the immense Canadian wild fires. We were very fortunate that the fires were east, north and west of us. So, we didn't even know they had spread so far and so fast while we were out of touch with civilization. 

Now, I'm home safely in Sandpoint where the air quality here ranges from good to moderate. 

Thanks for asking, fellas.
