Kerosene

|

The smell of the kerosene furnace in a house in Fort Hunter reminds me of my childhood growing up down from the road of the mobile home that heated with kerosene. Definitely a distinctive smell, not all that pleasant.

Black Smoke in Tribes Hill

|

Looking across the Mohawk River there was an intense but brief cloud of black smoke coming from Tribes Hill. At first I thought it was a house fire but it looks more like a controlled burn that got a little blacker than expected. Maybe too much diesel and silage wrap to start a brush pile up on a farm outside town. No sirens though and the cloud of black smoke quickly disappeared. In Rural Penna that would just be a typical Sunday afternoon.
