Will do, but “impromptu” is right. In this case I just used penelopesire’s list in post 17 when she pinged me.

These days, I don’t have much time to research, but I just posted this on the Egypt thread about a Putin visit to Cairo:

Have the fires been put out? Are you “smoke-free” and out of danger?

Thanks!

Fires are still ongoing but won’t get here, too many miles away. The smoke, OTOH, is not nice at all. Burns the eyes, lungs, throat - day and night.

But - everything is temporary in this world.

Hopefully no more nutcases will start fires around here for a while, though. (The big ones were lightning apparently, but around our local valley there have been a lot of arson fires and idiot started by accident fires.)
