According to AirNow.gov, the air pollution right now is at 270, "very unhealthy". It's an improvement from what it was last night and early this morning (>300, "hazardous" ). Fires in Canada are sending plumes of smoke our way, and because of weather patterns, our area is hit particularly hard.
I hope rain comes soon.
I hope the rain comes before the forests around here ignite because of extreme dryness, human carelessness, or out-of-our-control events (lightning). We already had a minor brush burn (luckily, it was brought under control) along the highway - probably because some jerk threw a cigarette stub out the window.
The temperature was beautiful (low 70's) this morning - perfect for a hike - but we can't enjoy the unusually cool weather because the air is just not good.
Can't do: outdoor pool, hikes, kayaking, picnics, pick berries, play frisbee with kids.
Can do: stuff inside. Meh.
I miss fresh air.
