My numbers were off: there are currently ~9 forest fires burning in Colorado right now. The feds, who cover 75% of firefighting costs, have shelled out 20 million for the Hayman fire alone, and it’s not remotely under control (although it’s going west, not east).

The Governor has announced a ban on smoking (that would be cigarette smoking) out of doors. Interesting, since you can’t smoke indoors in most places, either.
