Did you have to walk in the smoky air today, Howard? So bad that the Yankee/White Sox game was postponed, and even a WNBA game (indoors).
Yes, with an N-95 mask on. It was weird. Here's what Hell's Kitchen looked like at 2:00 pm this afternoon, just outside my office:

We were going to see Taj Mahal at the Prospect Park band shell this evening, part of the Celebrate Brooklyn summer series. Canceled.

That looks miserable and bad for your lungs, heart, nose and eyes.

Right now, as LJ texted me a little earlier, New York has the worst air pollution in the world. The rating is 400. 150 is considered unhealthy. Eyes and noses burning, smokey smell in the air.
Thank goodness I have a pint of vanilla chocolate chip ice cream in the freezer.
I really wanted to see Taj.
(In a moment of irony, note the name of the shop in the lower left-hand corner of my photo.)

That, along with the store in the bottom left, is more than remarkable. It looks like one of those things we read about in China.
