I wore my mask in the car!

Hah!



The air quality is so bad, I sported a crappy Asian KN-95 while I went out to run a couple of errands.



I need to buy some of the good 3M masks. They fit much better and thus are more effective at protecting me from Canadian wildfire smoke. I left our one remaining 3M 8511 for my asthmatic husband to use.


It's .. < cough cough .. > just a little < hack > smoke ..

Since it is a Canadian fire, they should supply the masks. Trump is controlling other imports, he should stop this too.

As well as the Candian fires, there are fires in northern Minnesota that are affecting Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, and points east.

To be fair, some of the smoke is domestically sourced. From Minnesota and perhaps Wisconsin.

Next step, SCUBA or if you have the money and can obtain the equipment, a closed circuit rebreather.

Naw. I'll just wait for the wind to change and blow the crap on a more northerly course.

Today's air quality ("very unhealthy) is better than yesterday's ("hazardous"). Tomorrow's is predicted to be better still (merely "unhealthy for sensitive groups").

We'll see. They predicted bad air for several days before it actually showed up. I got tired of The Boy Who Cried Wolf and failed to close the windows on my screened-in porch (where the laundry is done) in time.

My son changed his HVAC filter - after only about a month - and it was yellow .. mine was ok but I don't have any fresh air intake / exchange .. John T.

I don't have fresh air intake, except what happens naturally in an older house. We've been limiting our use of exhaust fans in a effort to keep the outside, outside.

The HVAC filter is due for a change, but we decided to wait a few days.

I washed mine just before the crap hit - and we have kept the house locked up pretty tight so not much infiltration. I will check it in another week or so again.

My truck was all sticky Wednesday morning. I washed it expecting to head out to "the pond" at Baden for the cruise night which was cancelled - and it's all coated with sticky dirt again (by Thursday noon already) so imagine what we were breathing!!!! We need a good rain to scrub the air clean - but also good enough to rinse all the crud off that gets washed out of the air!!!Hopefully the air is clear in Minden next week - supposed to get some rain.

Those are deep blue states. Democrats are very poor at putting out fires (think LA Mayor Karen B. Ass).

I sat out on my porch and did a couple loads of laundry while smoking a pack of cigarettes. I have a 6' chain link fence that filters out covid-26, mosquitoes, my neighbors explosive cyclospora/Taco Bell diarrhea and smoke from socialist Canaduh.

These election years are getting nasty!

In car best advice is set AC or heat to recycle and let cabin air filter do it.

Some of those fires are on federal land, dumbass.

Yah, and for decades "you people" did nothing to prevent this flammable hazard.

For decades "we people" have warned you about climate change, while you people were in denial because iDJT told you to be.

Fires are going to get bigger and worse, along with other climate disasters. Sound familiar? It should.

The solution is to herd you deniers onto boxcars and ship you off to FEMA camps. With good behavior you can get summer work-release to fight fires for 50¢ an hour.

Never mind the masks. Trump is building a wall to keep the smoke out, and Canada is paying for it.

OMG you sound dumb. Have you seen where the burning forests are? How do you get to them? Should they rake the leaves every year? Nature at work, as it has for millions of years.

The Earth has experienced at least 3 ice ages over the last 4.2 bazillion years. All of these cyclic climate events were caused by Fred and Wilma Flintstone building too many campfires to roast their brontosaurus burgers.

Sadly, the extinction of the brontosaurus could have been avoided if they had dined on Gill Bate$' glyphosate-fortified fake vegimeat.

Will Deep State's AI be able to rewrite history to better fit today's scam narrative?
