I like having a kind of mish mash of similar colors, they add depth to the image.

Actually, I've thought of one thing where colours not really matching bothers me. I'm not sure how to have the Trisina ears match the darker skin tones on the avatar.

Sorry for going off topic, guys, but I'm wibbly right now because of this. North-central Alberta hasn't got hurricanes or earthquakes, but we can still lose whole cities in hours.

*hugs Tam muchly*

*hugs Tam too*

*adds to the hug pile*

Thanks, guys.

*glad I didn't get these hugs yesterday. It was too hot for hugs then!*

My god o.o -gives hugs and sends some of her area's late spring chill your way-

Thanks, NJ. Thankfully, we still get nice cool nights!

A friend of mine lives in Fort McMurray and evacuated north, but eventually made it on one of the evacuation planes south and is staying with her friends in Edmonton. A few friends and I were chatting with her on skype when she said they just got the evacuation notice.

I worried about her like crazy the first 4 days >n<

She's alright as is her family and kitties. =)

-hugs tam- how close were you to Fort McMurray? =o

I'm glad your friend is okay!

Edmonton's about 400 km from Fort Mac. Just far enough to catch smoke.

Are you Canadian, DK?

No, I'm in Ohio, USA. But I worry about her


Apparently Iowa, USA is getting smoke from the fire o-o

Smoke travels. I often smell it when BC or Washington are burning.

The one news cast i saw said the smoke might make it all the way down to florida. makes me wonder if ohio might see some.

Kind of sad that even though people managed to evacuate, some died in traffic accidents

You MIGHT. I would imagine most of the smoke is traveling on the polar jet stream, which usually veers northward as it approaches the Atlantic Ocean. Ohio is usually a little northward of the typical path of that jet stream, but taking a look at a map it looks like the curve might be a little farther west than normal right now.
