The big California wildfires have turned the San Francisco Bay Area into an “everyone is smoking” zone. Air quality is in the definitely hazardous category.

It’s a weekend where riding the motorcycle is out and the cabin filter in my car is a wonderful thing.

They closed all the public schools today so all my coworkers with kids took the day off. That leaves us DINKS to keep the wheels of industry turning I guess.

I am finding the smoke isn’t much of a problem for me. I do see a lot of people wearing masks. But I have to wonder. Wildfires have existed for longer than written history. Therefore it is natural for humans to deal with the smoky conditions without masks.

That’s why I don’t think this Bay Area smoky crisis is comparable to poor air quality in Beijing. They are choking on pollution that resulted from industry not forest fires.

Jetflo69, You should wear a very good mask.Alot of my friends were not wearing masks at first but when the

hospital started filling up they soon put them on.It's like smoking a 200 cigarettes a day,up to you, your lungs.

It rained today and the air seems clear again, except for the more rain forecast through Friday.

It looks like we’re doing a ride on Saturday!
