That is the weather forecast for today here in the usually sunny Virginia Beach, VA. I don’t know if you have seen the news broadcast about the fires in Northeast North Carolina, but they have been burning for more than a month. I opened my front door this morning and it looked like my neighborhood was on fire. Thick, stagnant, grey smoke. The kind that makes your chest ache, head hurt and eyes water. There is an advisory to stay inside if at all possible. I bet this is doing wonders for our tourism. I didn’t walk my dog this morning. I seem to be particularly sensitive to the smoke. I’m wondering if it is because I am an ex-smoker? The weird thing is we are 90 miles from the fires. I saw on CNN the other night that the smoke has reached as far as New Jersey. Wow. Oh, well, just felt like sharing. Holding my breath in Virginia Beach, peace out.
