went down to the bosque

to see the sunset in smoke

damn near choked to death

*****

As a result.. there is the massive city of smoke that has been hovering over us for several days now.

The sun burns some of it off during the day... but then the wind just blows more around,
especially in the evenings.

And while it is stunningly beautiful... especially at sunset...

alot of people (myself included) have been having a hard time breathing.

So... I say to us all...

take it easy... breathe slowly... and be safe out there.

( and yes, those are the real colors... thanks to the smoke and haze in the air )
