Air quality today is...
Riding home on the bus, I saw some stuff on the horizon and I thought, boy that looks like smoke. Like big smoke. And yeah it is. The wind is blowing in this direction so it's pretty much on top of us now. I can smell it in the house. The sun is yellow again. And the air is actually hazy.
I was kind of hoping to make it through finals before fire season started. I suppose it's possible that it's an agricultural burn and the CDF website didn't say anything, but they're notoriously slow about getting big burns up unless they start out huge (even then it's like a day or two). But um.. I'm seriously hoping to not have a repeat from last year. Walking home, it wasn't the smoke that was making my chest feel tight, it was anxiety because I really do not want to live a couple of months where the sky is a void and we never see the sun.
Ironically though, this time it's on the opposite side of town. We didn't get a whole lot of rain recently so if we get lightning storms like we usually do about this time, everything's going to burn again.
ETA: wtf. It's a training fire. Thanks for letting all of us know that you're going to pollute our air and burn our incredibly dry grass for training. I had to like REALLY search for the article to find it because naturally it was buried. Good job, guys.
