In other news, the smoke has been coming and going with astonishing and unpredictable speed, and it doesn't even correlate with weather. Monday was hot, even into the evening:
and crystal-clear.
Yesterday it cooled down and drizzled a bit, and yet the air was so bad it was 2x worse than Beijing.
Today it is warming up again, and the air is clearing up and I can see sapphire-blue skies and puffy white clouds.
Hmmmm...
In other news, I saw the fuzziest-wuzziest-fuzzbucket caterpillar ever the other day:
I tried to google it; the closest thing to a match I could find is Pyrrharctia isabella, colloquially called by the utterly delightful name of "Woolly Bear Caterpillar". Apparently it's more common outside Alaska to find them with a brown band in the center, and the narrower the brown, the harsher the upcoming winter. Seeing as our Alaskan Woolly Bears have NO brown, I guess the folklore holds true here!

You look good wearing glasses and I do too :-)
As for the caterpillar, no thanks
Thank you!
I got new glasses in honor of this smoke!
Yay for Booger! BTW she seems to like (cleaning)the glasses:) I know the feeling, as one of my 3 goobers always seem to think my glasses need cleaning, haha..
