Yeah, I glanced out the window last night at the moon, and said "Wow, that's really red for being so high in the sky already".

Stay safe, everyone.

I've had a scratchy throat for a couple of days now. I assumed it was seasonal allergies, but I think the wildfire smoke probably plays a big part too. We didn't leave the house yesterday except to walk the dogs.

And people have been setting off fireworks (what holiday is it, anyway?), so things smell a bit sulfurous -- not what we need when the air is already smoky.

I was scheduled to go into the office in Manhattan today, because there's an in-person social thing after work, but maybe not, with the air the way it is.
