The smoke returns

Yech, the smoke has returned in force! Yesterday it wasn't so bad
towards the afternoon, this morning I could smell a little bit in the
air and just make out a cloud rolling in from the north (Argentina).

Low and behold, it's here. We have all of the windows shut, Chris has
been coughing and wheezing, it's nasty.

Attached is a photo I took from our balcony.

Book Corner - finished reading "Fast Food Nation"

Just finished "Fast Food Nation", what an eye opening book. The author
has his critic's, as does any author, but I'm going to place my money on
his facts, which are pretty scary, especially about the meat packing
industry.

Got smoke?

The city was covered in a smokey haze yesterday and somewhat today. The cause? Argentine farmers burninf feilds for grazing. Apparently it was really bad in Buenos Aires.

This morning on my way to work I noticed the sun was orange, wish I had my camera would have made a great pic.
