"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"...
By now you're probably aware that we are dealing with a great deal of hazy conditions and lousy long-range mountain views thanks to being downwind of a significant amount of fires raging in Canada. It began a few weeks ago with smoke coming all the way down from Alberta, Canada, but more recently we're now being inundated with smoke from the eastern provinces. Just yesterday New York City recorded it's worst ever air quality day on record, even delaying air traffic in the region.
Below are a couple of links for inquiring minds:
My allergic reaction to the smoke has been off the charts, as well. Forecasts say that conditions will improve in a few days...but it does make for some fireball sunrises and sunsets, thanks to the thickened airmass.
Lake Junaluska's famous flea market at the outdoor gym is this Saturday, FYI. 8am-1130am.
Excellent road grading is now complete on our unpaved paths, so I no longer will feel like I'm driving a chuckwagon up and down Staymon Road. :-) Yippee Kiy Yay!
Please continue to drive cautiously on Apple Creek Road as there are more walkers and oodles of rabbits out and about.
