Played Evans Prairie today; saw the smoke; winds shifted and there was a heavy smell of a petroleum based fire.

I was at the Hilltop Pool about 1pm and didn't see, smell or hear anything thankfully.

Hard on their neighbors. The garage needed to be aired out.

I truly don't understand why people who hate everything about Florida live here. Same about The Villages. Why not live where you find love and peace and leave Florida? Buh bye.

Saw the smoke from the west side of The Villages. Don't know the source.

Lobster penalty AGAIN for cross threading. I've lost count of the lobsters you own me.

Back to the fire. Fireboy thought it wasn't a house fire by the color of the smoke.

My lunch companions thought there was a fire at Panera's in Sumter Landing last night. Any truth to this? I can't find any mention anywhere.

I think your lunch companions meant Spanish Springs. There was all kinds of fire equipment down by Panera's last night. Main Street was closed at Paige Blvd. i "heard" on the square that there was no fire, but the fire dept was checking very carefully to make sure. I was surprised there was nothing in the DS. Maybe tomorrow.

Sorry about venting. I used the screen door in the garage and the smoke was terrible inside when I got home.

but we still have not discussed what the smoke was ?? I saw the smoke
and it was massive amount... I was afraid it was a house or business - it looked like a structure fire since there was so much smoke.
