Joe: I’ve got two browser tabs open with air quality information for the Sacramento area. We’re currently in the Moderate range, which is the best I’ve seen for a few days.
This brings back memories of life in Southern California, where I would need to check the AQI reading during warm weather. When I moved up here to NorCal, the air quality was better, but I found myself checking the weather radar much more often. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com Insta: @CampyOnlyGuy YouTube: YouTube.com/CampyOnlyGuy > On Aug 26, 2020, at 10:42 AM, Joe Bernard <joerem...@gmail.com> wrote: > > The air is just miserable here in Novato with an AQI of 155.
