It's almost dark in Nashville

Must be huge fires.

Stayed just under 80 this afternoon.

It’s been hazy here (Asheville) the last few mornings, but then cleared off by 10.

I don’t follow TV weather news, so it didn’t register on me, but today we’re under an air quality alert, and the air smells “funny.” Not like our usual clean mountain air.

Yes, the air was brown yesterday. Finally saw the sun around?? 5 p.m.? Smelt like a fire.

So, has the air in Tennessee cleared up yet, or this is still on-going?

Didn't hear anything about it in yesterday's weather report.

Slightly hazy in Nashville. Still have the smell of smoke. Air quality warning for some, i.e. asthma per local TV. They call it "poor" air quality.
It's more difficult on my daily walk.

I’ve been outside more than usual this week since it was cooler than normal. I had a crew of house painters here M-F and they didn’t seem bothered. Personally, I haven’t noticed any weird smell or taste in the air. Visibility has been normal and I’ve not had any issues with coughing, mucus membrane irritation, or breathing. I know local news has reported a lot on the the fires in Canada and I suspect there’s probably some real effect on people with severe respiratory issues and a lot of psychosomatic symptoms percolating amongst the hordes of neurotic people. All that said, I am in Green Hills so maybe the government is making sure the rich folks get the good air.

We're in early 70s. DW has lung problems, and had to take steroids for covid. I don't have problem, but could tell a difference in the air Sat morning.
Green Hills. Nice part of town.

Nashville is fine,as is air quality. Of course, I live 20 miles from downtown...don't go there.

Yep, good today.
Has to be a music act I want to see(usually the Ryman) to go downtown. Otherwise I head in the other direction for most things.
