Although the air quality isn’t as bad as yesterday, it still isn’t good by any means. If you have a smart phone, there is an app you can download AirNow.gov. This will let you keep track of your local air quality. Just put in your zip code and there it is. In my area, the air is at 195 today, which is unhealthy. Check it out.

There is a slight chance of some rain tonight. Would be good if it happens. Some sites have us showing a small chance every day the rest of the week, but we know how that goes. If we get any, it will be welcome. But mostly we would enjoy some healthy air to be breathing. And you know the worst part of that? Canada has such a vast amount of forest, and their rule is, if the fire isn’t threatening anyone, they let it burn. Now as many fires as are in play there now, think about what we could be in for the rest of this year. It’s not good no matter how you look at it. Do your best to stay safe, no matter what gets thrown at us.  Heat, smoke, etc. We’re survivors, right?
