    I remember one afternoon when my area was blanketed with smoke from some fires in Quebec. As the plume moved in the sky turned a murky brownish yellow. Eventually it got so thick it turned a sunny day dark and everywhere at ground level you could see it and smell it. It smelled like you were right next to a campfire.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    This smells like a tire fire.

    We all came out to Chicago
    On the Lake Michigan shoreline
    To make records with a mobile
    We didn't have much time
    Frank Zappa and the Mothers
    Were at the best place around
    But some stupid with a flare gun
    Burned Minnesota to the ground
    Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky, smoke on the water...

    Enjoy the smoke! I've missed the smell of burning leaves in the fall for decades!

    Just go to Brooklyn then. It was smokey as all heck there yesterday. Smelled like a 3 alarm fire at a mattress factory.
