Hi Dave,

 RH> It did, very much. Our air has pretty much cleard up again, until the
 RH> winds shift to bring down more smoke. Had a nice thunderstorm in the
 RH> wee small hours this morning.

 SD> Just checked the air quality for today.  It's green.  It's green
 RH>  for SD> fire and smoke also.  It's dark and cloudy...probably getting
 RH>  ready to SD> burst.

 DD> I don't have to check a web site/phone app/T.V. talking head for air
 DD> quality. I walk out the front door and check the haze. If it hasn't
 DD> "burned off" by 9 ayem then it's not "ground fog" but smoke from other
 DD> climes.

I'll get an idea of the full day's weather by checking W.U.; a peek
outside will just give me immediate conditions. Steve pulled a Boston
butt out of the freezer this morning; looking at his calendar and
weather for the next week, we will probably be smoking it next Monday.


 RH> The weatherman on the station we watch said that by the week end things
 RH> will be clear here. Meanwhile, I'm staying inside as much as possible.

 DD> I don't watch the boob tube - except for races ... and that very
 DD> seldom.

Ours is on for news, "Jeopardy" and in the summer, "America's Got
Talent".

 RH> (salmon)

 RH> We're happy with the canned from time to time but do like the fresh as
 RH> well. Had a lot of the latter up in Alaska this past trip so we're
 RH> taking a fish break for a bit.

 DD> I fet along much better with non-oily fish. But, even that is easy to
 DD> "tire" of. Then it's back to burger and pork chops and leg-o-lamb (if
 DD> I find a good sale).

 DD> I've only made this once ... it makes a *LOT*. Fortunately the
 DD> leftovers re-heat well and/or you can slice it to make really good
 DD> sandwiches.

We do a lot of chicken--Steve grilled some thighs last night with lemon
pepper seasoning. We'll use them up tonight, with salad and probably
applesauce--low fuss cooking.
