      And yet it *looks* clearer out there than it has in a couple days. Of course, there’s the saying ‘looks aren’t everything.’ Here’s the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency update:

    I’m always frustrated because I never know of these events in advance. How do I get that information? I would have loved to see the lighthouse up close, among other things. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
