Air Quality

The wild fires in California are approaching the wine region and that haze over San Francisco is not the fog. But there was a different type of haze hanging over the Uniprix Stadium in Montreal during the Rogers Cup tennis tournament. Top seeded Novak Djokovic complained to the umpire of an odor redolent of marijuana which he found annoying and affecting his play. He ended up losing his final match. But it probably was not as thick as the blue cloud that engulfed me when we put into Jost Van Dyke, a tiny island in the British West Indies, some years ago. It casts another meaning on the phrase "stinking up the JOINT".
