It was a memory iI'll never forget I was out on the porch talking to my mom on the phone I emedatly told her to go look to see if she could see it but she lived in larwnce co. And couldn't see it the smell reminded me of burning coal the smell was as remarkable as the light it hung thick in the air it was a calm windless night the smoke trail lay across the sky for a good while
