The smoke was bad again today. I guess this is the new normal. Poison air.

Sorry to hear it. We lived in a bad part of town until recently and it really wore us down. I felt what you said about seeing disgusting things. It's really important to remind yourself that there's a lot of joy and beauty in the world as well. When I would go out to the university I would be surrounded by towering leafy trees and manicured lawns and flowers. Everyone around me looked well fed and cared for, purposeful and healthy. Then I would go home and see the opposite. Balance, i guess.
