With the exception off a short trip to the grocery store, we stayed inside yesterday. The haze and awful air is still dominating the area and we see no end for a few days at least. The huge high pressure area that is over his region is creating an otherwise clear sky - if you can see it - except for the wildfire smoke that is going nowhere without rain and wind.
It will be difficult to tell visitors where to go today at work. The mountains are not visible unless you are on top of them. Good photos of the area will be near impossible and just breathing this stuff is not healthy, so that eliminates hiking and biking. This is the time of the year when the kids are mostly back in school and we are getting the retirees as visitors. This situation is especially unhealthy for the older folks. I guess it is like living anywhere else in this world - there are always some considerations for potential bad effects, like - floods, earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, etc. We should feel thankful that all we get here is some occasional bad air.
We have just over three weeks remaining. The time will move quickly now as we begin to wind down at work...
