I don't live in Canada or Minnesota

I do live in Buffalo and our air quality in an Air Quality Alert here in WNY. I can't image what those closer to the wildfires are going through.


I know that I have several close neighbors here on DU. Be please be safe and use caution.


I left for work early this morning and there was ash on my vehicle.


I'm posting a few photos. Most likely I won't respond today I'm going to complete laundry and dinner and then veg out on TV until bedtime.

This photo of The Falls was provided by WGRZ. The park is 10 minutes from me.
