Do not adjust your monitor. There were no filters used on this picture I took at 11 am while out for a walk on an otherwise sunny day. This is what the sky looks like. In fact, I think it’s even oranger now.
There are wildfires now raging through northern Ontario and apparently Toronto has the worst air quality in the world today, which I find kind of hard to believe but somebody professional-sounding said it.
These conditions are supposed to last through tomorrow. Then the worst of the smoke will have been sent to our good neighbours to the south.

Yeah, we’re getting it right now too!
All the automated lights have come on because the sensors don’t sense enough light.
It’s also making breathing unpleasant. Coating my mouth n throat. Blechh!

I’m already taking Friday off, so I can’t call out. Might be an early day though.

Just stuck my head out the door. It’s getting worse. Darker and yellower and smellier. Coming at ya!

I have googled and found out there are hundreds of wildfires going on in Canada at the mo. What the hell are y’all doing up there? ALso you’re supposed to have snow and be cold mostly so lots of wildfires is wrong. Anyway, what are you doing about it? Booky can’t breath!

Problem is we have a lot of forests, and forests burn. It actually is a real problem, and likely only getting worse. Good book on one of the big fires a few years ago called Fire Weather by John Vaillant.
Booky is going to have to carry around one of those oxygen canisters with him. But it will toughen him up.

The summer smoke thingy really is noticeable in our area when it arrives. That picture says it all. We don’t get it that bad in Pennsylvania, and grateful for that because it really affects those follks who have issues breathing in the first place on a perfect weather day.

If you have asthma or something like that then you’d be staying indoors I’m sure. Some animals would have trouble too.

Yes, Mrs. B and I were discussing the wildlife reaction to all this last evening. And as of this AM, our smoke has arrived in full and we’re kinda orangey outside. Yuck.
