The latest sign on the marquee downtown.  I enjoy seeing these and glad the folks at the theater are keeping this going.  I hope they're keeping afloat somehow with the closures.

Took a decent walk today, the air was good enough, it felt like it had been forever.  Smoke has returned this evening, it's pungent and hanging visibly in the setting sunlight and the trees seen from our windows.  Thoughts of Covid-19 have also returned which were relegated for a while with the focus on this fire, at least for me and few other friends that I spoke to.
