During the California fires it would sometimes never get brighter than dusk all day.


Yeah, like this. Seen this three or four times over the past several years. It is wild. I wonder if the east coast experiencing this hell will result in any policy changes.

The policy change will be that government officials get better air filtration systems.

we had all of our windows in our home replaced in March and goddamn i am glad we did. the old ones were really drafty, and i know it would be lovely inside our house if we hadn't replaced them.

threw on a respirator to walk the dog (the shortest possible walk for him to drop a deuce then we hauled rear end home), when i got home and took it off it smelled like someone was doing a campfire in my yard

this is hosed

we went nuts on energy efficiency when we rebuilt after a fire a few years ago and I'm happy we did given that I can't smell anything inside and I can barely see to the other end of my street right now

although part of that was also maximizing airflow for ventilation with the windows open so we didn't have to use the AC so much and lmao
