Some improvement today. Still pretty smoky, and more than a little smelly, but overall, better. With the cooler temperatures, it would be easy to think of Autumn fogs and root vegetables, but it’s only August, and the grass is still deeply green.

Now that the smoke has dissipated, it’s comforting to know I live in a city, and not some altered state of consciousness. It’s not often one gets that assurance.

Just a short walk today. Lots to do, and the nice people on TV have advised me, and others, not to exert myself. I’m nothing if not easily persuaded. Especially after a long and somewhat nasty week.
