I made it outside for a walk around the neighborhood this morning. The wildfire smoke is bad but not awful. PM2.5 is currently at 156. It burns the lungs and stings the eyes, but you can breathe.

The weather has cooled. If not for the smoke, we’d have a rather pleasant afternoon. Rain is scheduled for evening. That should clear the air for a little while. A few hours’ respite.

I may hazard one more trip downtown for a cold brew, but that’s the last I plan to leave the house today. And no more computers. I’ll probably clean the house a little. Listen to music. Putter around in the studio. Listen to music while puttering around in the studio. Do some laundry. That sort of day.
