Smoke Returns
Jul. 22nd, 2021 03:59 pmAfter a couple of clear-ish days, the wind shifted again and smoke from the Dixie, Tamarack, Beckwourth, and other smaller Sierra wildfires moved back over us. I could smell it strongly when I woke up this morning, and it was pretty clear what the effects were when I went out to put seed in the bird feeder.
( Not Mordor-like, but Suggestive )
I've heard some people (notably Keith Olbermann) say that the smoke blanketing New York and the northeastern US is coming from the fires here in California, but the way I read the satellite maps, it's mostly a whole bunch of wildfires in Canada — which are getting almost no coverage from the USA that I've noticed — that are producing that particular batch of smoke. Not that it matters. Why anyone would feel nationalistic about wildfires is beyond me.
I'm mostly staying indoors, although as I have to open windows at night to cool the house down, I'm still getting smoke. When I go outdoors, I'm masking up, even on our own property, using cloth masks soaked with water to reduce the smoke.
