I too was bawn in Bawstin and still live neah theah.
Anyhow, I haven’t seen or smelled any smoke here.
Btw, I imagine the problem with wildfires in Nova Scotia is similar to the problem we now have around Boston due to an overabundance of wildlife (in particular, black bears). Both problems are due to changes in behavior after WWII. People stopped gathering kindling from the local woods and people stopped shooting wildlife in the local woods. Now the woods are filled with kindling and our yards are visited by black bears and, we have a Lyme disease problem.
MY area, about 10 miles east of The Ohio is overcast, but there's no smell nor heavy cover . . disappearing now at noon.
Another man caused problem, Lyme disease is an escaped human made disease from a lab.
We see a little haziness on occasion from it up here near Boston, but...that’s it.
Doesn’t bother me at all.
I don’t watch television at all. My wife does, and now it isn’t the fires in Canada that have her concerned, it is the malaria-ridden mosquitoes invading our country now.
She was wondering what kind of animal has been eating her garden, since the squirrels don’t mess with it, and we got rid of all the groundhogs.
I looked out and saw what appeared to be the head of a squirrel poking out of some plants, but it came into view, and...
It was a giant rat. It’s body was the size of a squirrel body, but the tail...it was a rat. Not a squirrel that lost the fir on its tail.
I shouldn’t have told her what it was. Now she is really skeeved out by it. She visibly shuddered when I told her, and said, “I hear they can come up through the toilet”, “Could one climb in the windows?”, and “I am afraid to go outside now”.
I did feel bad. I shouldn’t have told her. She worries about things. Me? I just got my pellet gun down in preparation for another sighting.
Too much television is bad for people. She watches a lot.
