I was going to have some first-time visitors to the garden this afternoon. Postponed for poor air quality due to smoke from wildfires.

Weather reports now include smoke forecasts in addition to air quality.

We've increased (unequally, inequitably) atmospheric CO2 by 33% *in my lifetime*, 50% since pre-industrial. It continues to rise, faster now that ever before in my life.
