Boulder OEM: "Calm"

The Boulder, Colordo Office of Emergency Management will not be holding any more media updates regarding the Flagstaff or Ironing Board fires.  They state that both fires are under control and that the area is "calm."  They did state that flare-ups might be visible, especially at night, but that the ground teams of fire fighters and the air attacks with both water and slurry have been very effective.  Boulder can "breathe easy" again - unless, of course, you suffer from asthma or any other pulmonary problems.  There is still smoke in the air, and the tiny ash particulates are very nasty for those suffering with COPD.   Will blog more later, after walking Rosie and Remy, and returning home to my kits.  (Maggie May is currently scolding me for not playing with her...)
