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.

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.
