From his 1970 ecology warning book: "The Sheep look Up". This is the last chapter

Opening the door to the visiting doctor, all set to apologize for the

flour on her hands-she had been baking-Mrs. Byrne sniffed. Smoke!

And if she could smell it with her heavy head cold, it must be a

tremendous fire!

"We ought to call the brigade!" she exclaimed. "Is it a hayrick?"

"The brigade would have a long way to go," the doctor told her

curtly. "It's from America. The wind's blowing that way."

On the bright side, I have enjoyed the red moonlight.

In NC the "vog" (Death Stranding reference) hit Raleigh and much of the middle of the state pretty hard today with health advisories, etc. Here on the coastal edge this week though it doesn't seem nearly as bad yet.

Now you know what I dealt with in California for 2 years straight. It's unlivable.

It's killing my lungs with all of my 🫁 problems. I passed out yesterday.

Man, them Canadian wildfires are smoking up the whole state. Had to close the windows and crank up the air purifier and it still smells like Quebec in here. Cool sunsets though.
