Went out for a rip tonight and wore my sunglasses at night as the smoke gets in my eyes. Didn't notice any problem breathing. I guess Edmonton is quite a bit worse (go figure). Going up there for a race this weekend. Just a 10k that but looking forward to watching the finish line of the marathon and 1/2 mary though The winner is going to smoke to the finish line

I just came out of a movie just after midnight, and the smoke is way worse than when I went in. It is actually making my eyes sting. It's is the worst I have ever seen smoke in Calgary from BC Fires.

You can hardly make out the moon and it is a dark orange. From the North end of Stoney Trail, I couldnt make out a glimpse of downtown, or anything further south than McKnight. It is sort of disconcerting really.

Worse right now than any point today. It's bothering me too much to sleep. Ugh.

Went up to get a snack at like 1:30am and I could smell it from inside my house, went outside my car and it was just a cloud of smoke everywhere.

Pretty bad.

I slept fine!


In other news it is still pretty bad and is worse today than yesterday. I can actually see the haze by just looking across the street at the park.

Guess its better than snow amirite?

It looks like 'The Road' out there minus the buildings destroyed and death of course.

Here's a question. The GF and I are taking in GlobalFest's fireworks tonight. What possible effect could this have?

The only good part about this smoke is the fact that BC is burning.

You don't have to worry about sitting down wind from the fireworks.

People will still have to worry about sitting down wind from Locke, however.

Especially after I check out the BBQ Smokehouse for lunch this afternoon!

The smoke is crazy today. Looking up centre street from my office on the 18th floor I can't see much beyond the top of the hill. I feel bad for all of those people with asthma, etc. This must be wreaking havoc on their systems.

We need the Valiant to come down and clear the air.

I went for a run today. Probably not the smartest idea but it had to happen.

Felt like my lungs were going to explode afterward.
