Yearly occurrence

An especially unwelcome smoked filled haze is once again surrounding our city. It is sad to say this has become almost a yearly occurrence around here, even when the forest fires are not in our direct locale. We are basically surrounded by forest fires right now and therefore the air out there is thick with smoke. I feel for those with respiratory problems on days like this as it is bothering me and I have no such afflictions. I only hope it doesn’t last too long as forest fires are not welcome anywhere and if the smoke goes that means the fires are gone too.
