celticeagle @celticeagle (189789) • Boise, Idaho 13 Jan 25

Is it trivia? I´m very angry.

marguicha @marguicha (230331) • Chile 4 Feb 24

Ugh, So Smokey

Michelle Renee Kidwell @Michellekidwell (29953) • Sonora, California 6 Aug 21

The air quality is horrible here today, the smoke is awful. Air quality is at 209, very unhealthy, ugh, and my asthma isn’t loving this. Definitely not a day, for anyone to be out in the weather, who does not need to be.
