Smoky

There's a big wildfire up north of Sacramento, near Chico. Our weather comes down from the north, and this morning the light looked really odd. If you step outside, you instantly smell smoke - lots of it.

Because research in my building involves lots of chemicals, the building is required to have air from the outside circulated into the building to keep the air 'fresh'. I'm really not looking forward to breathing smoke all day!

(And given how bad the smoke is here, I can only imagine how horrendous the fire itself must be.)
