My heart aches for all who lost their homes and loved ones in Paradise due to the Camp fire.
The fires in California are also affecting the air quality throughout most of the sate. It's hit dangerous levels in the Central Valley and Bay Area.
As a daily bike commuter I wore a mask (for the first time in my life) a couple of days this week. Friday my college campus closed, so I don't need to ride, and I'm hiding at home where, just stepping outside, I can smell smoke. The air quality maps show us above an index of 300. According to Facebook posts (take as you will) we've now reached the achievement of having the worst air in the world. I thinking everyone is hoping for a little breeze and some rain to clear things out, but it doesn't appear to be coming soon.
So if you are in California, think twice about riding in this mess, then just don't do it. If you're elsewhere, think a kind thought for us.
