Red dusk

With the sun still quite high in the sky at around 6pm, the light around here was flat-out red, and looking up at the sun showed a wimpy red sun. Somehow, the smoke has managed to move from the fires in the north, around in a circle to the west, then it headed south and back east again. It looks like the smoke is making a loop around the city (of course, it's probably just perception, since looking straight up through the smoke shows it to be less thick than looking more end-on to a smoke cloud.

Still, the 7-year-old boy asked what smelled like barbecue, and he needed his inhaler a tiny bit this morning.

It's very smoky around here.
