Still a haze in Chicago.

And to me my snoot doesn't discern smoke -

Must be some chemicals getting sprayed all over the place. It stinks and it burns

And the pollen is still high where I am.

I'm staying in the airconditioning!

I remember that when I was a kid and these big trucks would go by spraying a thick cover of something. We would all just breath it in and go on playing.

I have been in AC most of the day and it inside stores and offices and my house.

I am thinking insecticide from crop dusting. I have seen some planes and helicopters flying over fields last week. Good lord I haven't seen hardly a bug this summer. I think the chemicals have killed them all.

and ride behind the trucks, "Spray me. Spray us." and the guy would oblige.

DDT developes strong muscles in kids.

Probably smoke from Canadian wildfires.

But that seems to be what it smells like.

Watch for crop dusting activities.

The Canadian fire smoke is bad there this week.
Yesterday it was bad.

We're addicted and we gotta quit.

Gas would be every day.

Big hog farms and lotsa farmland.

My first guess was insecticide. The planes were out spraying last week. It is just for the past two day it has been choking. Today I moved around Eastern Iowa and it is just everywhere. In offices and stores.

I have had a smokers hack since the fire smoke first hit us in May. This is really choking today.

chaps my ass. my nose is ok here in SW IA
