Scott, while it's not that bad here (yet) there is definately a foggy smoke in the air as well. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before it gets that way here too.
Is there any kind of air purifier that you can use at least in your home?

I don't know how much better you can get than a Heppa system.
That's what we use at work to maintain a Class 1 Cleanroom.
However, that being said, we still smell the fires inside the FAB.
Also, during the latter half of July, we smell the Garlic from Gilroy and the Garlic Festival. :w00t:

Yeah I'm not sure if I'm going to work now.. the building I work it was built so long ago that the AC system does not really clean the air at all.

I am looking forward to the garlic festival.

Do you go on Fridays, or during the weekend?
It's madness on Fridays. I just can't imagine what Saturday or Sunday look like.

Scott, have you thought about one of these?

I know it might look a little funky, but we use them at work when we are working in an area where there could be some hazardous chemicals.

It just might do the trick, on those days that you feel really overwhelmed.
