The government advice is to stay inside as long as the smoke filled air is at the unhealthy level.  I didn’t follow the advice yesterday but today I will.  I have become more aware of my breath.

Reading about the fires in California and Oregon in the New York times is encouraging.  I want others to realize what is happening to us.

I am still reading Sigrid Nunez’s new book.  More books are on order.  Buying books is still a pleasure and as the times become worse, I buy more books.

I am beginning to forget what the outdoors is like.  Even the beaches are shadowed in smoke and fog. The before times continues to drift further from my mind.
