The wildfires in Canada seem to be of biblical proportions not only in the number of square miles burned (over 12,400), but in terms of the millions of people affected.
I was advised of a website that I can discover the local air quality. It is airnow.gov. Allowing the site to access your current location provides the display seen at the right. I encourage everyone who is affected by poor air quality to access the website.
I canceled my planned bike ride for today. I rode yesterday and it was likely a mistake, but the air quality is much worse today.
Yesterday as I drove to a doctor's appointment, I was amazed at how the haze from the fires obscured the landscape.
I had this thought: When I look at the cloudless sky where did the blue go?
Be careful out there.
Don't breathe deeply.
