I really, really hate this smoke. This is awful.

Yesterday was worse than I thought it was going to be based on Tuesday night's warnings. And it felt way worse than it looked!
I didn't realize that the smoke was coming. When I got to work the skies were fine, but when I left it was quite a shock. Even my dogs, who normally can't get enough of the outside, didn't want to leave the house last night.
Man, I was watching the AQI numbers in my neighborhood on purple air.com on Wednesday, they nearly hit 300! I'd prefer 20 below to this.
