I was monitoring local web cams, and some of the views were completely blocked out! It was like a thick morning fog all day long. I've seen some smoke here before, but nothing like yesterday. Much better today, although the AQI number is still around 170.
I have NO biorhythms left... I made it to bed at 04:30 but was up at 09:00.
You understand, of course, that I am a man of honour and could not possibly reveal my sources. On the other hand, is it true that everyone has a price?
Uh-oh. *checks notes* Hmm, were we supposed to keep this from you?
Hopefully it's something fun. Be well, take care... we'll keep the light on for you.
I double mask for so many triggers. Carried some extra disposable filters for the mask pocket today, too. I like to breathe.
no... NO... AURRRGH! earwig... EARWIG!!!
Thank you for your thoughts and concern. Yes, I recall that year when the Western US, most of Canada, and almost all of Australia were all burning concurrently. Hope this year is easier for all Aussies
New slag for the lexicon just dropped
I'm sure we'd see you rescuing cats for little old ladies, right?Thank you sir!
I hope it is too as I'd prefer that you see me here, instead of on the 6 o'clock news!
Congratulations to you both!!
If this is the "new normal", I will need to move... like to Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard (Norway). I'll need a winning lottery ticket first, but I'm sure that's possible, right?
Same - can't really see it but can feel it in my sinuses
the masks help a bitSame... OM coffee and real coffee.Morning all avoid the smoke I’m missing my morning OM caffeinating therapy
may have to take matters into my own hands with the real, real Rx: Nap... reapply liberally, as needed
? Direct them to me. Thanks for the laughThanks for giving me "morning wood" dammit!
Maybe don't tell her this joke...
What am I doing on MY day? You ask?Maybe don't tell her this joke...
So, what you're saying is that in 31 years you haven't learned to make a dinner reservation and tell SWhoMBO that the reservation is 90 minutes earlier than reality?What am I doing on MY day? You ask?
Waiting patiently on SWhoMBO…to get her mess ready so we can go eat. Now in all fairness she called around looking for reservations for a place that has soft shell crabs…well…this ain’t Maryland, so no dice. So now, she’s posting pics from the wedding, time is ticking away…everything closes at 9pm…EDT…
Now I’m watching as Ms OCD is running around the back yard putting away things that couldn’t wait till tomorrow
Time is ticking away…

Wait. This... this was a... a bit?
I feel like a harbinger... but blame the BBC, not me... 'kay?
That looks real bad, were there embers falling from the sky?
@Wonderer67 feel free to chime in here...
I remember embers from the us western fires falling in Minneapolis in the 1990s, but not any since. That was really weird.
Sweet dreams!
Sleep tight
I was curious as I have had them fall where I was living a couple of times, very scary, eucalyptus fires here travel fast, the fires we have these days are so much worse, the heat they are burning at is making their own weather system…firestorms
I could had eucalyptus smoke, last year’s pine and peat from Quebec was bad enough
It was good! I added a glaze on the top instead of just a dusting of powdered sugar. Why dust with a half cup when I can combine 2-ish cups with some vanilla ice cream and make a glaze? I didn't have any milk or cream in the house and forgot to get some, hence, the need for vanilla ice cream!
