Better

Well that move in air quality from Hazardous to Very Unhealthy, although sounding funny, made quite a difference.  I went out this morning and it seemed like a fresh spring day.  I'm also thinking that maybe we've even managed to upgrade into the Unhealthy area (again, quite an improvement).

Temperatures have been lower today (I actually felt chilly in my shorts) and you could see the sun.  Not that small, orange hazy thing, but the actual sun.  I haven't seen any ash fall, but I have seen shadows.

The experts say we could have smoke issues for 4-6 weeks; but today, at least, it was an improvement.
