Logan just hit the big time! All kidding aside, it is like Dickensian London outside. Hard to breathe.

What's really interesting is to stand in one of the passes out of Southern California, particularly at Pomona and Palm Springs, and watch the thick gray clouds of smog blowing east - you can watch them billowing and rolling up the valleys. It's a combination of LA smog, Southern California wildfires, and crap from China. And that stuff washes over the valleys throughout the Southwest. It is quite literally breathtaking - acrid, thick, gooey. Sometimes it even precipitates out as a fine white ash, particularly when there are major fires sending up particles. I have seen it even at 10,000 feet in Colorado. Quite amazing how much of that stuff fouls the air in Utah and the Rockies. Sad.
