Smoky haze

Woke up to the news station warning of smoky haze. Elderly, children, those with health problems should stay indoors. Set your A/C to "recirculate." Do not exercise outdoors.

Yesterday as we were walking up the path I noticed that the neighbors who've been remodeling one of the older houses on this side of the hill had repainted their gazebo a soft butter cream color.

"Nice," I said, pointing it out to his nibs. His nibs in turn pointed out to me that the gazebo was still as titanium white as ever but the smokey sunshine's golden hue was making the gazebo seem a different color than it was.
