The Haze
After my bike ride yesterday my lungs and throat were feeling irritated. It's that smoke in the air folks, it's not good. The haze is from the huge 800-thousand acre forest and brush fire on the Georgia/Florida border.
A satellite shot posted today by the local Air Pollution Control Bureau shows that smoky haze has moved all the way up into Canada. ..."it's in the unhealthy range for all groups..not just people with pre-existing conditions with heart and lung functions..but the general population as well..everybody should avoid strenuous outdoor activities."
If you have Google Earth, then you can view satellite images of the fires and smoke and even get smoke forecasts.
