I was out this morning. You can, at times, taste the ash rather that just smelling. This afternoon it still smells and you can see a reduction in visibility at the distance of one yard to the next.
It has different quality to it than the same reduced visibility as fog. At no times did my eyes sting but I was outside for minutes at a time.
In the house, the car, and a big public building the smell is almost at 0.
Exiting the build you feel the change in the typical double door entry to public building. Its an "airlock" entry in that one person cannot hold open both inside and outside doors at the same time. Most likely to preserve heat inside in the winter.
Wow... Ottawa, again, had dialled the smog up to 11 according to Ontario's Air Quality folks. The fires still burn to the north and the wind's from the north again. Guess Canada will get blamed again if it reaches NYC.
Hopefully, they can get a handle on all of these fires before we have a summer of this sh*t.
