Well, the air certainly looks a lot better today here in the valley than it did the last few days.

We're still socked in here, although I actually saw a shadow meaning the sun was trying.

My daughter is supposed to fly out of Nanaimo tomorrow afternoon or Thursday AM to pick up her new car. We're trying to make it so her old one (2003 Wolfsburg Jetta) can stay here so it's easier to sell.

But this smoke is making it a bit anxious for her.

yeah I can actually see the sun shining though
last night during the rain the air actually smelled fresh for the first time in a week.

meanwhile, the smoke has made it to the east coast

VW Wolfsburg Jetta eh? That's a nice car.

She's had it since 2006. No point in trying to trade it in over in Vancouver. We can probably get 3 times as much here.

She's getting a 2020 A4. Black, black, black.... Not an S or RS.

Just brighter here. Looks like the high stuff has burned off a bit but the low stuff is still murky ... towards brentwood town centre

 

[puckhead]

Actual sunshine on my dogwood tree

The Alberni Valley is still in some sort of inversion. The sun is there above but no air moving..

I saw 2 ODs on my way back from a service today on Kingsway alone about 15 blocks from each other

I have no idea what happened. No one from the neighbourhood who was watching knew. Not sure if the hazmat suits were for covid or for fentynyl. Garbage all over the front lawn? But we did all see the ambulance take away an infant/child. Women wailing. Very sombre. Lots of police presence remaining after fire and ambulance left. Hoping for the best for those people

Any black bags come out?

 

[puckhead]

Not sure if it's still the case, but for a while all EMT visits were in the hazmat gear for their own protection
