Running 2 BlueAir hepas and a corsi box in the house, it sounds like we're in an airplane hangar. Outdoor AirThings sensor bopping between 10 and 30 for PM2.5. Indoor is hanging at 2.
Seven fires in the general WNC area, closest is 5 miles away. No wind. So many people have it worse.
➞ Is it true that supporters of cannabism protect themselves from being ‘mauled by others’ by constantly producing large amounts of smoke near their faces?

I'm asking for a friend!
@Ultraverified All excellent choices! I went through my #Scotch phase a few years back. Collected about 40 of them. My favorite is #TheBalvenieDoubleWood. Love the #Smoke and the #Oloroso #Sherry notes. I have been going through a #Jameson and #Baileys #IrishCoffee phase recently. I make them with #Espresso Yummy! Chilean wines are excellent. I am partial to #French #ChateauNeufduPape. It was the favorite of my late wife.

Black Summer bushfire smoke
"Before summer's end, 33 people had lost their lives, more than 3,000 homes had been destroyed, and more than 17 million hectares of land had been burnt, devastating lives and regional economies. Many cities and towns were blanketed in smoke with air quality ranking amongst the worst in the world.">>
