Trump's actions? Watergate does not bother me, does your conscience bother you?

It’s made it down to Virginia. Headed outside to run and it was smokey and the air smelled like shit. Did a u-turn and headed back inside.

I was going to invite my sister in Sagamore Hills to come down for cleaner air. Our AQI is 500 now, worse than hers, and she has better air filtration.

Moderately hazy this morning compared to yesterday. Smell is stronger today as well. SW Central.

Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison....

Had to go into Toledo for some parts during lunch yesterday. View of downtown, the Shoonmaker, and the waterfront from the Veterans Memorial Bridge around 12:30 or so.

That Canadian smoke is no joke.

I stepped out to run an errand and was only outside just walking back and forth from the car to the store.

My throat feels dry and scratchy like I smoked some stale cigars.
