There was a forest fire along the ridge of Clausland Moutain, which separates Nyack and Orangeburg. By the time we woke up the morning after it had started, smoke was lingering in the air — and in our house.
Luckily, as I write this several weeks later, the firefighters put the fire out in a couple of days and no one was hurt.
But the smoke traveled as far as Connecticut, and was like a fog over the Hudson River as I drove to work that morning.
