Elanor: *Cough, cough,, wheeze*
Marianne: * wheeze* Stupid free-burn season! 
Sophia: *cough* all the farmers are burning stubble.. 
Elanor: ...and there are controlled burns to keep fire risk low later in the year. 
Sophia: But the stupid Feather Valley just fills up with smoke...
Elanor: You'd think it would be clear here because we are in the mountains along the valley, but nope!
Marianne: It's worse at co-op though--you can see plumes of smoke rising and contributing to growing grey clouds. 
Sophia: Everyone was coughing--I felt sorry for those poor wheezy Spring Academy chicks. Some of them are just a week old--It's a nice way to introduce them to school, isn't it? Smoke coming from every angle? Burning fields right next door?
Marianne: Well, if there isn't smoke now, there's more later. 
Elanor: true. Welcome back, CG3 gang!
Sophia: So how many of you are there now?
Marianne: and welcome @PrettyHorsez ! Nobody has to ask to join anymore, so come on in!
