My ISP (CNSP) is a tight-beam from Tesuque Peak and I understand from them that they are running on generator power there, so I'm (vaguely) expecting to lose internet "soon"...

I drove into Pojoaque yesterday and the smoke was pretty harsh there (just downhill/down-watershed from the fire)... it sounds like SFe is getting it too... with the Caja (much smaller, less fuel) on the opposite side of town, it might mean that shifting winds just change which smoke you get?
