Reminder to everyone living with smoky air right now: DRINK MORE WATER. You're inhaling particulate even if you can't see it, your body needs to flush that crud out, and it needs water to do so. You're probably gonna produce more mucus and that's annoying, but it's helping clean out the crud.

Sadly, when I saw the El Niño forecasting for this summer, this (the 125 AQI lunchtime) was the part I dreaded the most. I don’t think anyone in Portland has fully gotten over 13 days of 300+ AQI in Sept. 2020. It stays with you. And now, the rest of the country knows, too.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Mildred Pitts Walter, Author of Books for Black Children, Dies at 103 (Gift Article)

Teaching kindergarten in South Central Los Angeles in the 1950s and ’60s, she realized that her students were not represented in the books they read. So she wrote her own.
