Smokey and the Balloon

Cali is on fire and we are again under smokey skies. 

It is pretty crazy to not see blue sky for a week at a time. It's even hard to see the hills a few miles away during the day. 

Pretty crazy though, as I was getting ready for work around 7AM the other day, I looked out my window and was not only able to look directly at the orange sky and sun, but saw a determined hot air balloon enjoying significantly unhealthy air quality. I could just see some tourist saying, "I'll be damned if I am not going up in a Hot Air Balloon on my trip to Napa Valley!"

Guess I am not so smart either-I keep riding in the smoke too.

Looking forward to seeing blue sky again...
