Due to the high smoke clouds from the Bootleg fire in particular, and the jet stream, there is reportedly smoke all the way to Greenland now, with hazardous air quality from Minnesota and Arkansas east to the Atlantic.

Oh man, are we every foggy here from the smoke! The weatherman said it was from the fires up in Canada. He said normally the smoke is high up, but not in this case.

I'm retired now. Drove truck for 38 years. For 7 years as an owner/opperator I had a contract run from Sacramento CA to Indianapolis IN. I left Sac around 3am Monday. Got 4-5 hours sleep in Cheyenne WY. Spent the next night in Indianapolis. Swapped trailers and went back. Was home on friday by noon. Averaged around 1100 miles a day solo.
