Quoted for truth...very succinct and accurate... Your coal reference (not quoted) reminds me of driving across Czechoslovakia in the early 90's. They used coal for heat, and we would put napkins across our nose and mouth inside the car as we drove (windows up) We would get to our next stop, and the napkins would be covered in dust

Fire smoke is definitely here by the airport. Either that or horizon lost another plane.

I like a campfire,but you can move if the smoke bothers you. I spent too much time outside yesterday and I'm paying for it today.

I'm in Chelan right now. Smoke is so thick you can't see across the lake. The sun is just a dark red orb. My car has a nice dusting of fine white ash. Oddly, breathing the smoke doesn't seem to be bothering anyone around here.

Sunday there was a smoky haze over Liberty Bay near Poulsbo. Never seen that before.

Everything in Tacoma has an eerie orangish-peach color about it.....
Felt like sunset all day
