Grouch Journal - Day 2

More trash talk!
Big Horn Fire - NW side of the Catalina's
Woke up this morning to an O2 Sat that barely hit 93%. Looking out the front door there is a stream of smoke stretching from the Santa Catalina mountains down through the I-19 valley corridor where it can be enjoyed by all the senior citizens in the retirement city of Green Valley.

Tucson AQI Monday June 9th

Air quality hasn't been great in the 'hood lately to begin with.  But what the AQI doesn't account for are the dust devils that pick up a ton of real estate and deposit it on your car, the front porch and any other place it's inconvenient to clean up. 
                                                         
DUST DEVIL
SPARKY - ASU's SUN DEVIL
Not to be confused with Sparky, ASU's Sun Devil which caused consternation when Pope John Paul II visited Phoenix and celebrated mass for 75,000 at Sun Devil Stadium. All references to Sparky had to be covered up and more sedate versions of the trident without the devilish desert denizen are the norm now.

If ths isn't grouchy enough for you today then watch the news or check your truck for pack rats.
