Literally socked in with smoke here in the sierra foothills, but the air 2/3 clears up from about 8:30pm to about 9am.
So I can still get in a jog or a ride using my 3M N95 mask and not have any symptoms (other than smelling bad when I get home).
Indoors I do pull-ups as usual, except I now do three sets instead of two.
My jogging ends at the grocery store for food, so I avoid using the car (as usual) and thus not stink up the car.
The dry fuels aren't growing any faster these days, this just happens to be one of those years when a lot of it finally gets burnt, due to lots of lightning strikes and other fsctors.
The fires are being allowed to continue to consume forest acreage in many cases, ostensibly to eliminate the fuels but also somewhat influenced by the economic value of lumber harvesting.
