Smoking section
I'm visiting my parents in Southern California. They live many miles from all of the fires this time around. (Last time there was a major firestorm down here, many of their friends lost their homes less than a mile away.) But the smoke is pretty oppressive. We don't have the Mars-red sky that I've seen in photos from San Diego County, but we have a thick gray haze, orange-tinged mornings and evenings, and spectacular sunsets and moonrises. And we're not supposed to exert ourselves outdoors.
Given the choice between running outdoors or running on my dad's treadmill in the turpentine-scented tool shed, of course I went outside. I don't seem to have suffered any ill effects. Yet.
