It's a cool morning - 59F. The air is translucent and full of "crap". It doesn't smell smoky and doesn't burn my eyes. I was able to cool the house last night with the fans. The entire eastern sky is pastel orange as sunrise approaches.

One can only hope. This morning is a repeat of yesterday morning. The only good thing - all this "crap" in the air is keeping the temps down somewhat.

So far, the predicted daily highs have been spot for here.

True, we have light smoke here and it's not been as hot. I drove into work yesterday, as the sun started to rise above Mt Rainier, bright orange colored ball.

That's how the sun looked this morning here . . .

Bad smoke, sun just a big red ball. Temps headed to high 90s. I was tired sitting around the house doing nothing the past 3 days so went out to cut wood...actually to clean up deadfall in a new willow bush about a 1/4 mile long. 3 hours and I had cleared a 10' radius around a huge brushpile. working conditions not bad as thesmoke kept the heat down and I was mostly in the shade anyhow. I was surprised I made 3 hours. At 86 my normal work day anymore is a 2 or a bit more hours. Still cool in the house now at noon with the furnace fan running.88 degrees and climbing a degee or more an hour.

I've found those n95 mask help a bit with the smoke. Not much good for the heat though.

The smoke does not bother me much, but I sure hope appreciable rain comes some day. Monday forecast says 0.08". I can sneeze that much.
