What happened to Maryland?

Normally, from the Masonic Memorial, you look down King Street, across the Potomac and into Maryland. The MGM Grand and the Ferris Wheel at National Harbor are just across the Woodrow Wilson bridge.

But not today.

Today you can barely see the foot of King Street.

I appreciate the preview of the apocalypse but the midwest can have their forest fire smoke back now.

That really is making it easy to decide to stay inside today.

I do feel bad for the guys working on the new train bridge. The air is really thick.

And that’s on top of hot (not quite as hot as yesterday, but still too hot, in my book).

All that smoke makes for a very low contrast day.
