#2 Air Quality Index as my local reports are, consists of 3 components: particulate matter < 2.5 microns (among which are smoke particles, currently measured on scale as, MODERATE high 60), particulate matter < 10 microns GOOD 21, Ozone GOOD at 45, Nitrogen oxide GOOD 9, Carbon monoxide GOOD 3, Sulfur dioxide GOOD 1. Yet local National Weather Service is warning about elevated Ozone at this moment (not happening) and not warning about Particulate Matter (which is happening). Local warnings are not making sense IMNSHO.

#4 Last August when particulates < 2.5 microns were high I was getting coatings on my windshield every night, and had to use the windshield washer to clear my view. Not much of a problem so far this summer.

#9 Watery eyes and a bit of wheez mowing the lawn, but the Moon has been an absolutely fabulous shade of orange. We should do this again for Halloween.
