It kicks up dust and ash and makes the air churn. It's not so bad when the aqi is fair or moderate but beyond that you don't want to as it can exacerbate health issues. During the bad weeks last year they said it constantly on the news as it apparently can really effect respiratory tracts. Wow, thank you for this. We always keep our child with asthma in during poor AQI but I never knew we needed to alter our indoor behavior.

Paul Gossar is definitely that 5th dentist who refused to recommend Trident gum

My son is going to school in Duluth in August and the school is finally open for in person tours. We are camping up near Duluth starting today until Sunday and then doing the school tour on Monday. I had suggested going to Gooseberry on Sunday afternoon and then heard it was dry. 😞 I think only part of it is dry. Still good hiking at least. Yeah we will still hike and see what we can. My almost 3 year old nephew and my sister will be along and nephew LOVES waterfalls. I took him recently to see Minneopa and he now will ask you to watch videos on YouTube of waterfalls.

Of course I can’t find it. The one time Twitter doesn’t just constantly repeat what I’ve already seen 🤦♀️ This one? I saw one similar posted by CWG on Facebook

Ok, well, I'm still not letting Penisrocketman polish his reputation but this is great Chef Andres’s food truck is in my neighborhood again tonight. I will happily throw all my money at him! The funny thing is that my family will probably end up spending a larger percentage of our income buying food from his food trucks and restaurants this year than the percentage Bezos’s donation is of his overall billionaire wealth.

During the bad weeks last year they said it constantly on the news as it apparently can really effect respiratory tracts. I learned this the hard way two winters ago. I vacuumed on one of our (rare) poor AQI days and promptly had a minor asthma attack. The worst part is that I was vacuuming for DD’s EI therapist visit and had the attack while she was working with DD. It was super awkward.

Every day when there's a new flash flood or fire or 115 degree day in a historically temperate climate, I wonder when we're going to stop saying climate collapse is coming soon and acknowledge that hello its here.

Did you see the link that I posted in the comic relief thread where one of the gang went to an art museum with an art historian and discussed the weather depicted in famous art? Really interesting. I think you'd like it if you haven't read it yet.

Yeah I hate how long this summer has felt because of the heat. Having the worst 2 weeks weather but instead it’s all summer long is… rough. I am so excited for fall weather. Between the heat and the lack of rain, I am worried about our farmers up here. I was out scouting fields today for work and some places the cracks in the ground are almost elbow deep. The little bits of rain we have gotten in Southern MN haven't touched these cracks because it just isn't enough. Now on top of the heat and drought, some fields down here are reporting bug and worm infestations that they haven't had to really worry about in years. What stalks of corn are growing well are getting eaten by the bugs. Same, but for durum and barley. Think people will give a shit when they don’t have pasta or beer next year?

Sometimes, well maybe more times than not, I read a breakdown thread and I still don’t fully understand much more than this isn’t good and how I’m the fuck did all of this continue for so long. This is one of those and some comments (op retweeted) are just as 🤯

Is this where I UO that back in my single days I was invited to go storm chasing with a very nice and equally adorable guy and backed out? Probably for the best in the long run. My mom was not pleased with that choice at the time.

We just did a virtual crop tour of ND and it is … bad, to say the least. What’s there is shriveled already. I will give it another couple weeks, but I’m predicting panic in the durum markets. Saskatchewan has already declared irreparable damage to both durum and canola. We’re trying to feed the world here, people.

Did we discuss the 45 campaign paying people to attend his stupid gold escalator speech in 2015? So basically, he had no real following, which means he didn't need to happen but for the media giving him oxygen and the constant, breathless coverage of the spectacle. I'm upset.

McCarthy is calling the speakers decision an 'egregious abuse of power and will irreparably damage this institution' oh and they're gonna do their OWN investigation.

I think McCarthy nominated a pack of crazies on purpose so he could accuse Pelosi of malicious intent.
