A few days ago I was sitting at my computer looking outside and realized that the sky looked odd. I wasn’t really able to describe what was wrong but it felt like I was in some sort of zombie movie and something bad was about to happen. (luckily, I was wrong about the zombies…aside from coworkers in the morning) As I left my office the next day the sun was out, but completely diffused by a thick layer that almost resembled a light fog. A quick google search cleared it up for me. Washington is currently experiencing a massive influx of smoke from a series of badass Canadian wildfires.
That explains all the allergies I suppose… Aside from the lack of ability to breathe easily, the smoke made for some really colorful sunsets that we don’t usually get up here! Enjoy!
