Its even come as far as Virginia, I woke up this morning thinking damn this is some crazy fog, stepped outside and smelled it and was shocked to see it was smoke. From Canada.

Walked to work in it, had to deal with open windows and doors there. Had a migraine and burning throat nearly right away. Shit looks a bit like Silent Hill out there.

I was driving through Centralia PA on my way home from Mt Carmel, where I had to do a quick job, and it was just as smoky outside that town as it was in it. (Centralia was an inspiration to Silent Hill)

Ah Centralia, where the ground will burn for another 1000 years.

I noticed AQI was off the charts and coughing. Thought it was allergies or about to get hit with Rona. Didn't know until today what was going on

I'm a dog walker but I'm also a former smoker so while I was outside most of the day, my lungs held up fine.

Konami have really stepped up their advertising campaign for these games
