Today Denver has the worst air quality of any city in the world.

That's what the teevee said tonight. Mostly because of the smoke plume from Cali's Dixie fire. I picked up my wife at DIA this afternoon and the visibility was down to about 3 miles. I could taste it.

Fuck all climate deniers!

down to 153 now and the sky is light blue. I can actually see the burned up trees at the top of the mountain out my window. Couldn't even see the mountain earlier.

Agree with the OP. Fuck climate deniers

but I think it was stupid to play the Marlins at Coors Field today and probably will be worse tomorrow. Not good for the players or about 30,000 fans with many children after we were told all day to stay inside even if we are healthy.
