Last night into this morning has been really bad in central Iowa. Eastern Iowa is still a bit worse. It should be slowly improving from here on out through Friday.

Sure does suck at the moment. Big ridge has held this down over the Midwest the last few days.

I have to be outside in this **** and have sensitivity issues is why I'm getting frustrated.

Got an N95 mask? They really do help with this sort of for **** air.

Understand the frustration. Was gone for week visiting family and am now essentially grounded indoors and unable to catch up on my bike riding. Might have to say **** it and don a mask and ride anyway on Thursday.

After a couple of day it's smelling smoky in the house even though I shuttered the outside air intake.

Yeah, I actually have an N95 on right now and it helps a ton. Now if I could figure out something to keep my eyes from watering.

Just saw the neighbor’s two year old traipsing through our tomato garden out the kitchen window. Her only supervision seemed to be four year old brother, so ran out of the house to catch her before she found the Rottweilers down the block. Did not grab mask, another shot of rescue inhaler. Neighbors have four kids, one every two years. I think they need a kid fence.

Get lost, some people have breathing issues.

You're probably the guy that burns **** every night to make your neighbors upset. Or smokes so much that all your senses are dulled to it.

I did burn last night but luckily my neighbors aren't that close.

Never smoked a cig in my life.

But I am sitting in the 3 season room with the windows open enjoying the nice temps

Well, isn't that nice, not everyone is so privileged to have perfect lungs like yourself.

Was in Des Moines earlier and it wasn’t too bad. Sounds like it should be out tomorrow. Hasn’t changed my outdoor plans.

Down to 168 in CR now. Can't seem to smell it or have the irritation that we did earlier but my mom still does.

We are down in the 140’s now, still unhealthy for us asthmatics, but my sister in Chicago is still in the purple very unhealthy. The plus side is she only leaves the house to go to the doctor.
