		<content type="html"><![CDATA[We have actually been very lucky. The areas most affected by the smoke from the wildfire are north of us, even as far as Virginia. We have had maybe 3 or 4 random days where we had some smoke for a little while and some smell. We haven't seen anything recently. The few times we have been affected&nbsp;it was&nbsp;just for a little while as the wind changed direction and the smoke kind of passed over us.]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[Believe me, I was not just talking about visitors being considerate and safety conscious.&nbsp; I would like to see EVERYONE be more safe and more considerate. Not just visitors, not just locals. I guess we all need to start with ourselves. Thank you for your comment and congratulations on your recent nuptuals.]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[Thank you for the image. The one I posted was one I saw in the Virginian Pilot. I am not sure of the date it was taken. I was actually going to write the blog about road safety and saw the picture when I was having lunch. I thought it was interesting so I included the image and a little info about the fire as well.&nbsp;The image you sent us last time was very interesting&nbsp;also. It is amazing how widespread the smoke gets.&nbsp;]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[I agree with your blog entry for the most part. My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon on Ocracoke and we really enjoyed the week. We did spend a lot of time walking around the island and tried to always walk facing traffic. What bothered me was when we couldn't get off the road any farther (be it from trees or overgrown shrubs or other people walking) the people driving toward us didn't slow down or move over slightly in the road (even with no oncoming traffic). There were times I really thought one of us (including our little dog) were going to get hit. The sad thing is the people most guilty of this had the ferry priority sticker on their windshield. That was really disappointing to me. I know we are visitors on the island, but almost being hit by a car doesn't really make me feel welcome.]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[Since I sent you an image the last time there were fires, I thought I'd do it again. The extent of the smoke is actually even further now than what you mentioned - from DE to FL. Pretty incredible. <BR> <BR> <A href="http://www.osei.noaa.gov/Events/Fires/US_Southeast/2008/FSHSsoutheast161_N5.jpg">http://www.osei.noaa.gov/Events/Fires/US_Southeast/2008/FSHSsoutheast161_N5.jpg</A> <BR> <BR>This image is from one of our Polar orbiters and has false color applied to highlight the smoke. On this particular day, you folks on Ocracoke were rubbing your eyes, I'm sure. <BR> <BR>We're due to arrive on Saturday...can't wait!]]></content>
