Speaking of smoke. With a hot, dry Summer fast approaching, it's brush fire season here. The latest is a fire in the Nanakuli area on the island of O'ahu. The fire has come close to burning some homes but so far, the fire fighters have been able to literally beat back the flames.
And, to coin a phrase, where there's fire, there's smoke. This story from KHON-tv tells of school closings due to the negative health effects of the thick smoke coming from the fires.
