We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've just started watching Without A Trace, and there really needs to be more slapping so far.

Still haven't made them. Looked at fares today. Still open? And insent. It's either make plans or stay home.

backflung, sarameg.

Okay, I'm starving. I've just had a ~2 hour nap. But I'm all hot and oogey and it's too hot and oogey to either cook or go out.

I'm tired of the smell of smoke and the fact that the fire alarms at school were ringing like mad today. The fire in Glendale is all smoldery and yucky.

I seem to have regressed to a 10-year-old's vocab.

Fresh fruit. That's what got me through the murky days in 2002 when we had fires here and my a/c was deader than dead. Well, fruit and sporting a fashionable bag o'frozen peas on my head.

But citrus or anything slightly acidic did help cut the constant smokey flavor in my mouth.

It's not that the smell is getting in my mouth. It's that it's fucking with my ability to breathe. I'm so congested it's in the not funny range.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Em's all stuffed up, too. Poor thing.

Uhg. I'm sorry. I hope you get rains/ wonderfully effective firefights soon.

I've only run into truly bad air once and it was just nasty (in Prague, in April. When my nasty smoking habit made breathing easier because I could chainsmoke through A FILTER. Otherwise it hurt and I started wheezing and gagging.)

When I spent any amount of time down by the river, I'd return with my clothing embedded with coal ash and coughing up very nasty things.

As the map cycles through today's Air Quality, notice the big orange dot that doesn't go away? Right over our house. At least at work, it's better.

Yeah, downtown wasn't so bad today. Hot, but the air wasn't bad.

Downtown got bad at like 10:00 AM but cleared up eventually, according the map. The map is oddly fun. Look at the orange grow....look at it clear.
