Yesterday an acquaintance told me it was smoky in Florence. Here in Lorane it is still so smoky that visibility is about a mile, and the west winds are barely moving. No sign of rain so far. The outside air stinks, and I am glad that I have air conditioning and a HEPA air purifier. Mine cost about a hundred dollars and I have to change the filters about every three months at Twenty (times two filters) dollars a pop. But they are worth it. You wouldn't believe how much black dirt they pull out of the air, and now with the smoke, they are clogging up fast.
