West Potomac HS (FCPS) has an outdoor graduation this morning, and it was still a go.

I walked my kid to school, about 1.5 miles roundtrip. The air smelled horrible but I don't feel any worse for the wear from the walk. I am supposed to do an outdoor bootcamp at 6:30... curious if the trainer cancels.

My kids don't do outdoor activities in air quality over 150. We've lived in highly polluted countries and that's our rule.

I've been outside most of the morning.

It's really not that bad.

This is the wussification of America. Everyone is always looking for a reason for things to be difficult.

It’s horrible. I won’t be going outside again until it’s time to walk the dog. Drove my kid to school and my throat was burning.

Yes, moving activities inside and took the dog to daycare so I don’t have to walk her.

Yeah - it’s bad out. I went for a short walk this morning and felt like I was inhaling just straight up dust the whole time.

My eyes haven’t stopped watering since I walked from the parking garage to my office an hour ago. I’m not going out. My kids Aren’t so lucky - one has to walk a mile to catch a bus to work.

Horrible air quality today from the wildfires. Are you avoiding activity?

I just moved a walking meeting indoors and am debating about whether my kids do swim team tonight.
