Holy Smoke!

Yes, the smoke from the South Georgia fires once more cloaked Atlanta in haze.





With the resulting traffic idiocy, even though it really didn't significantly lower road visibility for Mr. Average Commuter.





However, the entire city smelled like an ashtray and made Ms. Packratty cough. Ick. Charlie was sneezing on his morning walk, too.





Pray for rain in south Georgia and north Florida - not because it's polluting my air, but because it's really, really bad and has already claimed the life of one firefighter.



In the Good News category, Ms. Packratty's relative is recovering well from surgery. We are thankful.
