Good evening! There is something spooky and weird about the blood red moon. 🌕

Those western wildfires 🔥 have kept the skies dusty and gray, the air polluted and of exceptionally poor quality by modern times. The moon is such a blood red like an total lunar eclipse.

Mostly cloudy with haze and 79 degrees at the Elm Ave Town Park. ☁ Calm wind. The dew point is 69 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 6 pm as the front pushes farther east and allows the air pollution from the western wildfires goes out to sea 🌊.

The moon is such as dusty red color much like the sun today. 🎴Welcome to the world of the changed climate. Summer is only going to get more dusty and gray as western wildfires 🔥 get even worse every summer. The air more polluted.

I was reading today that 40 years ago that Albany had 50 to 60 air quality days a year, it has fallen to less than 10 days a year in recent years. 🚭 Catalytic converters and better controls on power plants 🏭 have made a big difference. But as more of the west burns it might prove all for naught in the long run.

Went down to the town park 🏞 for a while, so I could let the ticks climb on me 🐜 because I like sitting on the grass. Dangerous all fuck in the era of Lyme disease. But I couldn’t stay long ⛈ as there is a strong thunderstorm ⛈ on the radar. Looks violent but short lived. Not likely to leave a lot of rain ☔. But that’s a growing problem too.
