Smoking salmon for the winter?
SmoCon - Smokers Convention nearby

Kidding aside: stay indoors, maybe buy an https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_ioniser to keep those smoke particles out of your lungs...

Damn, I'd rather take on the VW diesels.

Swinging a big, wet towel for a while helps clear a room from floating particles BTW.

Reminds me of Ash Wednesday.

This news made SOTT Seems that saharan sand (which provides soil nutrients) is a factor too.

Reminds me of the summer of the great Yellow Stone fire. Where my parents live there is always wild fires this time of year, it is the cost of living near pine forests and mountains. I kinda miss the smell of the fires as funny as that sounds, it makes me think of slip n' slides, popcicles, and rafting down the canal on a raft me and my friends made out of fence posts. This smoke is from wild fires, right?

This smoke is from wild fires, right?

I certainly hope so... they produce PYRAcumulus clouds...

I think the main connection is that everyone's got a camera on their phone these days and isn't afraid to use it.

It's getting worse every year to be honest.
