In other news' Daughter #1 is flying down Thursday.  She's the last of our kids to see the new place, AND I scored two tickets to the Dawgs' game Saturday.  She kept needling me about seeing a game here (she's an OSU grad).  Now we just need to win.

Tickets were a bit pricey, but not as bad as some I've been too.

Bwar,
I was standing behind a tourist in line on Wednesday and thinking about his predicament. He came from further away than you, but either way, it's a drag to come to such a beautiful place in the one week (10 days? Hopefully not more) that it is covered with abysmal air quality and smoke from the Camp Fire. Just Brutal.

The second round of the Women's NCAA soccer tournament was moved pretty far south on Friday to avoid the smoke. The air was *just* good enough to play round 3 in Palo Alto yesterday. Alas, the  (#23) Badgers fell to (#1) Stanford, 1-0, missing a great scoring opportunity with literally five seconds to play. But there was a good Badger presence at the game, including yours truly, SFIrish, my kiddos, and even my parents (Stanford fans, mind you).

After enough wine, it's easy to forget about air quality. :)

My step son in SF tells me he is wearing a mask out doors now.  A typical mask of course doesn't do much.  A lot of the bad stuff is too small or molecular.

Several of the wineries on the Silverado were pretty badly damaged and lost substantial production last year.

I'm trying to figure out what the orange stuff is they drop from planes on fires.  The retardants I know about are not nice to the environment.

We should all be wearing N95 masks, or stronger, when we're outdoors. The AQI has been consistently over 150, and was over 200 a couple of days last week. We're supposed to finally get some rain tomorrow--can't come soon enough. 

You may have seen things like this on the Facebook, but I literally just took this picture out my office window; compare it to one I randomly took a few weeks ago:

What is an N95 mask and what does it intercept and what does it pass?

We had to be fitted for respirators every year and not have facial hair.  It was kind of a pain.

We had full SCBA that we could optionally get trained on.

When Northwestern plays in the Big Ten championship game at Indianapolis on Dec. 1, the Wildcats will be joined by a caravan of 58 buses carrying more than 3,400 Northwestern students.

Northwestern sold out its allotment of more than 10,000 seats in roughly 48 hours, purchased by season-ticket holders and students.

After Northwestern clinched the Big Ten West division with a 14-10 win at Iowa on Nov. 10, Jim Phillips, the vice president for athletics and recreation, announced that the department of athletics and an anonymous benefactor would provide tickets and travel to Indianapolis for any undergraduate student who wanted to attend the conference championship game.

Wow, football is a thing at NW, who knew?  When do they expand their stadium to 100 K?

Good stuff.

This may exceed the demand for Iowa v MSU.  I still plan to scalp.
