We’re having a crappy air quality week here in Boise. Here’s what the sky looked like last week:

There are supposed to be foothills and mountains on the near horizon in that photo. Ugh.
Sometimes driving through Boise is like driving through the Los Angeles basin in the late 1970s. I’m guessing in California this would be an “orange” air alert. Here it’s yellow, and there’s only a “voluntary burn ban.” Ick, ick, ick.
This little valley will trap whatever weirdness floats in from other places. I’ve heard this is from the fires near Salmon. Sometimes smoke from fires in Oregon and California invade the sky. It’s just so odd. Makes beautiful moons and sunsets though.
Wow. A picture is worth a thousand words for sure.
Miasma!
