the sky is this muddy brown and gray color. and the sun is giving off this eerie orange-ish glow. it looks really dark even though it's almost noon.

i just went outside to feed a stray cat (poor thing had ash all over it) and it is DISGUSTING outside. the smell of the smoke is so thick and heavy, it's just hard to breathe for long periods of time. and you can still smell it inside with all the windows and doors shut. gross.
