South Pierce County, Spanaway, Washington State:
Smoke in the air is getting thicker.
Has been making me sneeze and has been irritating my eyes for days. This morning I climbed into the shower and ended up dropping my liquefied nose contents into the tub as if I'd been in a CS riot gas attack (often called tear gas, but the military kind) right after taking little Bella outside.
With 35 deg Celsius heat (95 Fahrenheit) this afternoon, the air is thick and stinging, and I have not seen any birds in the air for a while!
The light is shaping the colours of all surroundings into an eerie golden brown tint, like last year right before it got dark for weeks.
This is the second summer we have this biting smoky air and strange light with a mucked up atmosphere.
This may well be the new normal, and the end of good summers for years to come.
