West Coast Fires

[cozmik_cowboy]

Kinda makes me glad I'm in the midwest, where we just have tornadoes and miserable summers................
Stay safe, all.

Peter (who, should you need to escape, has a couple spare beds)

Coz, you guys get snow!  ‘Nuff said.

Bill, tgo


P.S.   Beds are very comfortable.

Yer dern tootin' we do!

I finally realized I must be getting old when the sight of snow no longer made me frantically eager to go camping (not saying I no longer want to winter camp - just that it's not the obsession it once was............)

Well, my buddy in OR just found out he lost his house.  Totally crazy.

Sorry to hear that.

Thanks, David, crazy and tragic.  And just think, California has been dealing with this for years!

Going to the link below is helpful for West Coast air quality updates. Because of the fires I check this site everyday before I head out for my morning hike. Just put in your city, and it tells you current air quality.

Here in the PNW it's still a bit acrid and orange-y.

Certainly nice to get a break from the smoke, may return by the weekend but for now we have some relief. Safe to leave the house now, take a hike, get some exercise, had almost forgotten what sun and blue skies look like.

Yes indeed, back to "moderate" air quality in our part of SoCal - which is about as good as we ever get.  The fresh air is due to the wind shifting back to an "on shore" flow but I understand our west coast smoke has now travelled as far as Massachusetts...  You're welcome!

Today was “lighter” than the past 10 days. Still can’t see farther than a half block but I can now read without extra reading lights. 

stepped out into the yard a bit yesterday. No longer smells of smoke but I feel like I’m at an elevation around 10,000 feet!  Getting winded just walking to the shed.

We’ve been running this non-stop in our living room.   The filter was replaced only three days ago.
