Smoking



Today
Widespread smoke. Sunny, with a high near 86. Light and variable wind becoming northwest 5 to 10 mph in the morning.
Tonight
Widespread smoke. Clear, with a low around 65. Northwest wind 5 to 8 mph becoming light and variable.
Sunday
Widespread smoke. Mostly sunny, with a high near 91. Light and variable wind becoming north northwest 6 to 11 mph in the afternoon.


Worked three long, difficult days in a row, breathing dry muddy smoke from fires further west. Lots of bad moody at work, not me. More like after the fall of the Soviet Union, the old resentments kept in check by the abusive government were set free to feed on each other.

I covered S' Wednesday shift, given Tuesday off since it was the only slow day this week. This was not a congenial trade, but I agreed to it, so there you are. Or rather, there I was.

Every morning, Eleanor has mewed at me, insistently. This morning, I sat, and she says "Finally, yes, a good cuddle, we've needed this all week, but you kept leaving!" Yes, I'm sorry, you are quite right.

It has happened here that forest fires in the north and uncommon winds have brought the smoke down to my city, but it doesn't happen very often. Maybe one spell in the last five years that I can recall.

Our cat mews in the morning at us, usually it is about feeding.
