Good Evening – July 20, 2021
Good evening! There is something spooky and weird about the blood red moon. π
Those western wildfires π₯ 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. β 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 π.
The moon is such as dusty red color much like the sun today. π΄Welcome to the world of the changed climate. Summer is only going to get more dusty and gray as western wildfires π₯ 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. π Catalytic converters and better controls on power plants π 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 π for a while, so I could let the ticks climb on me π because I like sitting on the grass. Dangerous all fuck in the era of Lyme disease. But I couldn’t stay long β as there is a strong thunderstorm β on the radar. Looks violent but short lived. Not likely to leave a lot of rain β. But that’s a growing problem too.
