My friend S needed some work clothes, so she rounded up some folks to hit our preferred local outlets today. We'd also hoped the smoke might be better down there, but not much luck on that account. Still, I picked up some clothing and some kitchen supplies, and got to spend a day with good friends, so overall I'd call the day a success.

Speaking of smoke, it got so much worse today. I was driving over to Oakland to meet up with people before we left on our shopping trip, and it was like driving through significant fog. Very sobering. The entire Bay Area has its air quality classifed as "unhealthy" at best, and there are pockets where it's much worse. Not supposed to let up until Monday at the earliest. I don't even know how people closer to the fires are getting by.

Not much else to say today. Maybe I'll be more inspired tomorrow.
