Smoke from wildfires in Southern Oregon and Northern California has been filling the Rogue Valley over the past week. That's not unusual this time of year, but drought conditions have resulted in more numerous and longer-burning fires this summer. The air quality has been fluctuating between "unhealthy" and "very unhealthy" while containment of the blazes doesn't seem likely in the near future. I'm reminded of my younger days living in and breathing Los Angeles smog.
