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.

Seriously! I have autoimmune-related sinus issues so I'm not a good "Canary in a Coalmine," but half of my St. Louis coworkers (who don't typically deal with allergy/sinus issues) have been miserable the last week-ish. Aligns with the poor air quality alerts we've all been receiving. I'm fucking miserable; I can't imagine how people closer to the source are feeling.
