Remember how I posted that it was still hot here, and that there were still fires? It finally cooled down and I decided to close up our evaporative cooler for the winter. This involves removing the vent louvers and inserting an insulating cushion. It is usually a little dusty, inevitably some outside dust and inside plaster dust falls out, so I had the vacuum ready and took a rag up on the ladder with me. When I started pulling the louvers out, cups of ash fell all over me. Every flat or recessed portion was full of ash. That has never happened before. No wonder we have been having sinus problems. It was like cleaning a chimney. It seemed like a bad fire year. I guess that was confirmation.
