Smoke season is a thing now in Seattle, in the sneaky yet dangerous way that Ride the Ducks was--it's there and you know it isn't right but it takes a catastrophe for everyone to realize it.

The catastrophe of wildfire smoke sending us running indoors during a heat wave AND a pandemic seems obvious, but cars continue to inch along I-5 and airplanes belch out jet fuel fumes overhead every sixty seconds. So.

We used to joke about Smoketember. And now, Smaugust.
