Effects of smoke?

[Tater]

Tater commutes every day, and I can't help but worry -- haven't even met her yet! Be careful out there Tater!

Thanks, Karen! This morning I didn't realize they were advising people to avoid outdoor exercise until AFTER I got to work and heard it on the radio. The ride in wasn't bad, my throat is a bit scratchy but that's all. I will be taking it easy on the way home, though.

Mr. Tater is having a hard time with the smoke. His sinuses are stuffed, his nose is running like a faucet and he's having a hard time getting to sleep. Poor guy! We seriously need some rain and cooler temperatures around the area to help out the firefighters!

We're getting some of it here, too, though we don't have it like you do in Whydaho. I kept thinking it was cloudy all day and then when I went out I realized it was smoke. Didn't seem to bother me on my commute, though.

Poor Mr Tater. Maybe he needs to hop on his motorbike and go somewhere where the air is better for a few days. I'm sure he'd hate that!
