Yuck on the smoke! I had originally planned the trip for Friday the 27th,
but the smoke was so bad. I do like to see the scenery when I drive over!
For the first time in 6 years since they devised the smog alert designations
for Reno, they declared a Level 2 alert the other day. Level 1 is bad;
Level 2 is worse. I'm not getting ash on my car like I have during past
California fires, but I wonder what's going into my lungs. I have not done
my walk/jogs in the park for the past week. (I'm an overweight ol' lady --
I can't be out there runnin' in this stuff!!) When the view of the
mountains from my dining room window disappears, I know it is bad. Today we
have a bluish haze instead of a gray-white haze. I even saw sunshine very
early this morning. Reminds me of a Ray Bradbury short story "All Summer in
a Day."
Your smoke in the Sacramento area is probably worse than ours since you are
closer to the fires. It's really bad around the mountain at my school.
It's almost in California near the Plumas National Forest.
