Arrival report

[celticdragonfly]

Okay, we are back, and we are alive. The house is standing, unbroken into, and the cats are alive, well, and gratifyingly eager to see us. We have phoenixsinger with us for a visit.

That's about it on the good news report. We're getting somewhat better on the whole miserably sick thing. Until we got into this section of Texas. Wow. I'd been nervously reading the fire reports. Still, the air quality is way worse than I'd expected. Horrible smoky haze all over everything. Pray for rain. This is awful. Dante will be wandering by any time now, I'm sure of it. Air quality that makes me *grateful* that my asthmatic son Brendan is currently in Los Angeles is bad.

Anybody have information about air cleaners? The electronic doohickeys you buy? I've always figured they were probably too expensive, but maybe we want one, if we want me to keep breathing well all week. selenite suggests I go look a bunch up online, and I've tried that before, but I just get hopelessly confused because I don't know what I'm looking at.

The place is, of course, a chaotic mess from the pre-trip pre-Xmas prep. I have a lot of housecleaning to do this week.

More when we've rested a bit. Looking forward to chatting with friends again.

That is the main reason I hate most smokers. They're also litterers.

Not all of them. But most.

As I understand the burn bans, it's now illegal to smoke outdoors?

I have started bleeding from my sinuses. Eeek.

I don't know much about the burn bans, unfortunately. I haven't had more problems than usual with my breathing (although I noted the very pretty sunset due to the smoke). I had more breathing problems when the fires were burning in Mexico a few years back, when I was in College Station.
