We are all suffering from the eleven days of horrible smoky air. Both boys are complaining that their lungs hurt. Kate had days of coughing. Everyone has a headache. And we are all sleeping longer, maybe to let our bodies heal on their own.
All of this poor air quality was topped off Thursday night when our upstairs neighbors decided to enjoy a wood fire in their fireplace. It was bad enough they were adding to the smoky air but with an air inversion, their smoke went out their flue and DOWN OUR FLUE TO OUR LIVING ROOM. The family was their doing a dance party and were hit hard.
Believe it or not, Kate (severe case of social anxiety) went upstairs (to verify) and then asked them to let it go out. The girlfriend of the owner (we're talking 70 year olds) got all defensive and Harry said we just enjoy the ambiance ... Kate asked them to wait until Lake Oswego was in the healthy zone. IDIOTS! And it was 70 degrees.
Well, I certainly hope your neighbors were at least considerate enough to let the fire go out! What were they thinking?
ReplyDeleteWhat total idiots, for sure! How could anyone enjoy the "ambiance" of a fire in a fireplace with air quality issues outside?
ReplyDeleteGlad you got your Blogger skin back that allows for your side bar info again! This one is a keeper---easy to read, easy on the eyes.
Some people just don't think, do they? Making a fire and having it go the way it did and not even being too concerned about it? Definitely unhealthy air during those days!
