I noticed what looked like fog all over town yesterday but thought it smelled a bit like a wild fire, since I never watch any TV news I had no idea about this until today.

Yeah, it's pretty bad out there ...
I'm in Coachella, Ca right now for the weekend, and I'm not noticing a thing here ...

Depends on the way the air drifts and if you are on fire.
Haha Coachella, Ca, that's way down south I guess you do get around more than most of us though. Been down there, but only on business. Good for you man.

Wait! Why are you there?

Business ...
I'm in RI now ...
About to head south to ... Somewhere ...
