Vernon Wade is a poet, author and freelancer. He has been published in The Gorge Literary Journal, Dualsport Rider Magazine, Hack’d Magazine, The Sidecarist, ROB Magazine and The Hood River News.
The world fills him with wonder. When he looks at the sky he is lifted into flights of fancy, when he stares at the earth he is drawn beneath its surface. He is delighted to find the macrocosm and the microcosm equally mesmerizing.
8/3/26 6:45 50F (10C) No wind on the ground. The sun has topped the ridge, a red ember glowing through the haze, smearing the canyon with bilious light.
The Grasshopper fire is at 31,000 acres. The prevailing wind is expected to be light today, but it has shifted and we can expect smoke.
If we are lucky, it will blow it back into what has already burned. If we are not lucky, it may jump past that or change direction, heading this way.
Good morning.
