Woke up smelling smoke inside the house (windows closed). Had to go outside to make sure there was not a fire right near the house. Don’t see anything. But this is the worst air quality I’ve ever been in - even in the worst Oregon wildfires. The fires from the north and west of us are delivering their poisons.
