Traffic has been horrific. I really shouldn't complain - I wasn't on the interstate during yesterday's huge pileups. Things could be a lot worse. With the interstate still closed, traffic is diverted onto local roads - my usual way into work. I've been creatively using various backroads, so this morning's commute wasn't too bad. I was 30 minutes late yesterday and still was the first one in (other than the boss who lives a couple miles from work).

Fog and smoke were big problems again this morning, so the alternate route I hoped to take was also closed down.

We're catching whiffs of smoke inside the building - enough to make my throat itchy. I'm glad I'm not working outside today.
