Terrible Air Quality

For what might be obvious reasons, we haven't been doing much work on the house in the shutdown; having contractors in is not going to happen, and going to hardware stores is something we are reserving only for real need, not projects. And outside, we've had three or so weeks of terrible air quality. This is what the sky looked like yesterday morning:

It didn't get much lighter (this photo was taken around 10:30am). We are probably about as safe as you can get from actually burning down, but we may end up quite packed in here if friends need to evacuate.

If you think climate change is liberal hysteria I hate you.
