The smoke has stayed around for a week and there was no rain to knock it down. Until today.
It rained last night, just a touch. But I can see the sun again.
I was saying that I have not been effected by all this smoke but I did notice one thing. My eyes watered a lot. Especially at work when I was bent over working on a job.
So it did cause me a little discomfort.
After weeks of hot and sunny days, we have a major change in our weather. Smoke!
Since I am in a category of persons susceptible to health issues from bad air, I am pleased to report that this hasn't had a terrible effect on me. I'm not coughing or wheezing and I don't feel congested or short of breath.
This is the second day of this smoke and it's supposed to last at least another day. There is a possibility of rain later in the week but that remains to be seen.
I don't know how many days I've ridden to work this year but it's a lot. I did so again today for the first time in a week and man...it was cold. It didn't help that I wore shorts, a light shirt and no jacket.
It takes me a while to adapt.
The ride went well although the hills are tough.
It was sure nice getting on a warm bus when it finally arrived.
