I don't remember getting smoked out when I was younger, but we've had our moments over the last several years of smoke from wildfires moving in and depleting our air quality. That's what's happening again now.
I took this picture while driving on my way to work this morning. Looks like just a haze or a fog, but actually there's not a cloud in the sky, it's all smoke from wildfires in Canada and Minnesota. And it got worse as the day went on, getting officially to 'hazardous' levels. But should clear up to 'unhealthy' or 'very unhealthy' tomorrow, though I expect it to fluctuate a lot until we get a system to move this out. This story has been national news the last couple days as it stretches from here in the Midwest all the way to the more important populated northeast states.
Not much else has happened since I last posted. I took a stupid fall in the basement on Saturday afternoon, bruising my whole left side. I took Monday and Tuesday off work, and when I went into work on Wednesday I used my cane, which just freaked out management. I would up being sent home and forced to see a doctor to fill out their paperwork before I could go back. I knew a doctor wouldn't be able to do anything for me, but I saw one anyway and got their paperwork filled out. I have some minor restrictions until Monday, and I'm sure I'll be good to go by then.
Meanwhile, our temperatures have been hotter this week than when I complained a couple posts ago, but should break soon. The lawn needs mowing, weeds need spraying, and paint needs to be looked at and used/saved. But it's very likely nothing will be done until the weekend.
Hope all is well where you are. Cheers.
