On the chaise lounge <br />Beer in hand <br />Watching air tankers rotating in and out of firebase. <br />After Friday night's dry lightning storm <br />Big Sky Country has become Big Smoke Country <br />Lots of blazes taking off to the West <br />Where an orange glow lines the nighttime horizon. <br />Elk and Mule Deer habitat improvement in progress.<br /><br />Lori Messenger<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/land-conversion/
