Walkway

 

Waterbury, Connecticut


My car is 15 years old, and Bettina’s is nearly 20, so over the past 8-10 years I’ve been a somewhat frequent customer at Major Muffler on South Main Street in Waterbury. Behind the commercial strip of businesses on the west side of the street, between them and the Naugatuck River, there’s an elevated pedestrian/cyclist pathway. Yesterday, while they were cutting out a rotten muffler connector pipe and welding a new connection, I took a short walk along the river under heavy overcast skies.

Smoke!

Naugatuck, Connecticut 

Smoke from wildfires in Canada and the midwest is blanketing the sky in Connecticut. Around one o'clock this afternoon in Naugatuck the sky was dim, everything illuminated by it was tinted yellow/orange, and haze softened outlines of objects just yards away. The hills in the middle distance were hazed out obscuring all detail. The forecast is for it to get much worse tomorrow.
