ironymaidenon a clear day i have a view of Mt Rainier peeking over top of Queen Anne hill from my balcony. today i can't see Queen Anne hill or anything that is more than a couple blocks away due to smoke.
our AQI has now improved to 229, after a peak earlier today of 242. we have air filters on order for our planned redneck air purifier - box fan, merv 13 filter, duct tape - but they won't arrive until Sunday (local stores were sold out). they'll still be useful then, but tomorrow is going to be miserable. the dog does not understand why we won't open the door for her.
that said, today is our Seattleversary and i remain happy to be here, smoke or no. the cascade of events following 9/11 brought us here - i have no idea who we would be (or where) if budgets hadn't frozen in 2001, cancelling academic programs that were starting in 2002. i am especially relieved that i'm not working in theatre anymore this year; it's a tough profession always but 2020 is going to be a devastating ending point for nonprofits.
