It's glorious. And the low will be in the FIFTIES. I am leaving every single window open all night long and if it gets too cold I will PUT ON A SWEATER. Those horrible days in the nineties when the air was so bad you couldn't open up and cool down the house at night are, well, probably they'll come back, but they aren't in the ten-day forecast.

The only problem is that all the tasks I put off when it was too hot and the air was too bad to do them are right here. Still, I got a few of them done. And it was just such a pleasure to take out the damn trash. And to know that the issue really was the smoke, I haven't suddenly developed an inability to go up two flights of stairs without puffing like a bellows.
