I've never seen smoke this thick in NY, if you have breathing issue, you're definitely feeling it.

It's not the same fires. The first fires were in Nova Scotia, and they started 10 days ago, and then a week ago fires started in Quebec, and now in Ontario. In the mean time we haven't had significant rain during that period to wash the smoke out of the air, and the blocking pattern of warm air in the west is causing the smoke to circulate around the Northern US, and Eastern Canada.ti-amie wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 9:13 pm I know it used to be the case in Canada, at least in Quebec, that when it snowed it was left to melt until spring. How were these fires left to burn for so long? I know most of them were caused by lightning but how have they gone on for so long? I started smelling smoke in the air last Saturday night.

The only reason they close NYC schools is because of a blizzard or a hurricane.
Also, The NY Racing Authority has cancelled all races today. The Belmont Stakes is scheduled for Saturday.
The sun was out but now there's this eerie twilight.
Washington DC is on a purple alert for their air quality, or lack thereof.

New York City Public Schools will operate remotely on Friday, the district announced. Only some schools were scheduled to be in session; those that are will provide virtual instruction for students. The rest have a previously scheduled clerical day, and staff will work remotely.
The district also worked remotely Thursday, which was a scheduled day off for students.

I know, I know, I know. This is indeed a disaster, but...
Some of the shots are beautiful. Pardon the superficiality (and I hope everybody affected is doing well).

You were saying Ponchi? One of the most beautiful pictures I've seen of either the Brooklyn Bridge or Manhattan Bridge (?) and yet so deadly.

People who always felt guilty about their own racism, their xenophobia, misogyny, felt empowered because Trump made it ok to be all that ..simple as that..ponchi101 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 6:58 pm I have "followed" Tiny since the 80's, when Doonesbury started covering his charade. And I have always wondered what is it that people see in him. He is truly a bag of the worst qualities a human being can be. And yet, he swoons large crowds. He has gotten away with anything and everything always. And I have always wondered: why can't people see what I, a damn foreigner that has not dog in this fight, can so easily detect?
And I draw a blank. Then again, I always asked the same question about Chavez. Why were so many people not able to see the real person?
Guess that is the reason I am an emigrant.

Kenndy is a hero in the loony circles. He "exposes the truth". My loony friend N told me he would buy me Kennedy's book, so I could learn. I told him I felt that Kennedy was a quack, and it seems that that was the end of a friendship (from his side, not mine).
The cults. Once you question their leaders(s), they simply can't be with you. I find it sad.
