Standing on my balcony today you can barely see downtown.


Downtown is about 2 miles away from here, so that's something that gives you a little pause. Just a few days ago I could see the mountains, which are probably at least 60 miles away. That's quite a swing. Downtown and the Hollywood sign are our apartment air quality guage. Can't see the Hollywood sign, but downtown's pretty clear? That's a moderate air quality day. Both looking good? That's good air quality. But downtown's disappearing? Uggh.
