Today marks the first day local air quality has improved enough for me to be outdoors. Because of the California wildfires and diabolical wind patterns, smoke has become a genuine threat to southern Colorado people like me with lung disease. This morning, though, I can see the mountains again for the first time in nine days. The air isn't yellow any more.
It also means Reuben, my boxer, gets to go for his usual walk with me. Gotta go, see ya!
