Spokane fires - tommag - 08-04-2026 By now I'm sure you've all seen the news about them. They've destroyed a bunch of houses. Fortunately for me, this is downwind of me about 4 miles.  The Spokane rifle club is currently closed, pending damage assessment. It was squarely in the path of the Indian trail fire and I doubt there's anything left. It was established in 1925 and you know how cities have a way of expanding. We've had a lot of legal issues as a result so I'm thinking rebuilding will be fought tooth and nail. Several fires have merged into two big ones but they've already arrested one guy for "allegedly" starting the Indian trail fire. Turns out he's served time for killing his father over an argument about washing the dishes. I suspect he's a connoisseur of fine amphetamines. Anyway, it's smoky as hell over here, (many other fires in the area) and I came down with pneumonia last week. The smoke isn't helping that any, but hopefully the steroids and antibiotics will knock it down. RE: Spokane fires - tommag - 08-04-2026
