Once again our clear, blue sky looks more grey than blue.  The wildfire smoke from Canada is moving over us again, causing breathing problems for those with asthma and allergies.  Thankfully, no one in my family has either.  Right now, it doesn’t seem too bad but it always seems to get worse later in the day.  They issued our advisory yesterday, but I haven’t heard any today.  Maybe it won’t be as bad as they thought.  There were some thunderstorms which passed to our south yesterday afternoon.  We had a quick 2 minute shower from it, but there was plenty of thunder to go with it.  We aren’t really expecting any rain today, but tomorrow may be a different story.
