I hope everyone in the path of the wildfire smoke stays safe. This is a photo from my street in NYC. Pretty nasty.

    Everything is glowing orange outside now. It looks cool, but scary.

    Looks like an average late summer's day in Washington state.

    Hit Philly over the past half hour.  Got it a good bit later in the evening yesterday, but was relatively clear this morning, but starting to look orange here now and strong smell.

    Nothing like New York though.

    It’s actually a yellow/brown outside right now I’ve never seen a day that looks like this! Everyone is walking out wearing N95 masks

    Looks just like Colorado Springs when we visited out there a few years ago. I went for a short run and afterwards my throat hurt like I had a cold. Be safe.

    Took this photo out my window a few hours  ago. It looks much clearer now. But was really weird for a while.

    I’ve never been there! Just haven’t seen any acts that I’d like to see playing there prices are a bit steep for acts that I’d consider 2nd tier acts!

    Hey all: If you still have KN95s around, you can wear them when you go outside.

    If you want real-time air quality info (I mean, I realize if you can see the air, it's bad) -- so you know when things are back to a healthy level, download the Paku app (I have no affiliation with it, I just live in a place where I need to keep an eye on air quality).

    Stay indoors!
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    Just to add: Paku is more accurate than what the weather app on your iPhone is telling you.

    Yes. I went outside briefly today and wore a KN95. I still have a bag of unused masks left - so they came in handy today.
