Greetings from Montana, overlooking a very smoky Flint Creek valley. Cool breeze kicked up after sunset and seems to be helping air quality, but I could still see ash in the air in the beam of my flashlight. Also a tired doggo after her first long road trip.

00z models don't inspire a lot of confidence in the situation improving anytime ever.

We need a smoke emoji

A lovely day at the lake, and a lovely evening at home. My landscaping has exploded growth wise again this season, need to do another major cut back this fall.
