Smokey

A veritable fog of smoke rolled into town yesterday. It's been a little hazy over the past month or so due to fires here or there, but nothing major until last night. 'Twas so thick that I couldn't see more than a block away. It's better today, though it's still incredibly hazy and one can't see much more than a mile or so away. The fires aren't terrible, but they are upwind, so lots of smoke. We're definitely in the zone of air being harmful to breathe over time.

I also managed to find a job last week. I like the job itself, but I'm not entirely sure about the physical environment. It's an office situated in the middle of a machine shop, so I've been dealing with some very loud, screeching machinery that bothers me, as well as pulses the power enough that the florescent lights pulse too. The combination is hardly optimal. We'll see if I adjust, or if I break. Time will tell.
