Never even heard of smudge pots as a kid as there wasn't much call for them in the northeast and mid Atlantic of my childhood. Not until college getaways to FL and later living in SoCal did I ever see one and hear the locals talk about sleepless cold nights keeping all the many fires going. Poor things didn't know from snow, 'specially feets 😉 of it and weeks of deep freeze cold. ...Times of innocence. For all of us, including, but for a very few, hoodwinked adults. What a time to be alive this early century is. I'm kinda bummed I'll miss the long term results of the shift we're at the beginning of. Many, many changes in the next half century to be sure. Statistically, I'll be dead by mid century, TBD. Oh well.
