Making Computer Systems Behave Themselves
Early morning haze
Sunlight hampered by the smoke
Disrupting autumn
Another smoky, hazy day here in Seattle. The air quality is expected to be slightly better than yesterday. It should continue to get better as the week progresses. I look forward to breathable air.
I never thought I’d see poor air quality as a positive change. But, here we are. It is quite an improvement from yesterday.
Be safe out there!
Laying bare our fears
Feel the sunlight on our souls
Swaying sunflowers
It’s a hazy day in Seattle. And that haze is smoke, coming here from a variety of sources, mostly from Eastern Washington. Outdoor activities are pretty challenging right now with the horrible air quality.
And it’s looking to get worse over the next few days. Hurray! cough cough
Key to adapting to and managing this situation: knowledge. I offer two sites I’m using for key details.
Lest I get too whiny about these conditions, I recognize that many other areas in the west are far worse.
Check out this shot from Portland (from Oregon Live).
Or this one from San Francisco. (Via the San Francisco Chronicle).
How are you coping? Any tools you’re using that I should know about? Let me know.
Through the intense sun
And air choked with smoke moving
The bees keep working
The air in the greater Seattle has been filled with the smoke of many fires. Carried by the wind miles, a gift to be choked, I guess. The bees seem unperturbed.
on this evening walk
with my mind feeding my soul
in this cool night air
in this morning air
destructive rage blowing west
the sepia sky
The featured image is out my front door, trying to capture the smoky haze that’s descended upon Seattle. My lungs hurt a bit, my eyes sting, and I feel for my asthmatic friends and the misery they’re going through.
tenacious flowers
dancing with the honey bees
as they move skyward
walking amongst trees
sunlight climbing to the west
motion of my feet
These ghosts of summer
Gently fading into time
This cool morning air
