Depending on the weather on the given day, Albuquerque is sometimes downwind from the Arizona fire. We get a nice smokey grey fog, enough to irritate my throat, and the sun turns an eerie reddish orange. Hard to complain too much though since there are those in the fire's actual path who are having it much worse.

we have been having alot of bad fires here in west tx
