Weirdly, the sky is blue here this morning.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Even here we have haze and air quality warnings. The graphs in the paper comparing to previous years are yikes.

It doesn't look as hazy here today as it did yesterday, but my entire respiratory system is screaming in pain. I can only imagine how folks are doing upstate and in Ontario this week.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It is weird hearing about smoke and bad air and not being in it. Masks and respirators help, if you have access to any - those masks with the valve that we aren't supposed to use for COVID are pretty sweet for smoke. It's one of those obvious things that I forget I can do so I am reminding those of you who are in it that it might be something to remember.

Yesterday was a surprise retirement dinner for my best friend at a Brazillian steakhouse. I got followed and accosted by a very aggressive panhandler on my way in, which I can't imagine working to solicit handouts. Maybe people who are scared of him throw money (rather than the punches I was tempted to)? Fortunately, good company and eating enough beef to satisfy a mountain lion salvaged the evening.

Apparently NYC has the 2nd worst air quality in the world right now. (I have to assume Quebec is winning/losing that race, since it is literally on fire??)
