Overheard a kid at the park ask why the sky was 'dirty' yesterday

It was just hazy from wildfire smoke, but it hit me how that's their normal now... not like the clear summers I remember. Anyone else notice younger folks just accepting this as baseline?

My buddy's daughter asked if the sun was sick last week, same smoke haze. He didn't know what to say.

Damn, that's a heavy question from a kid. What did he end up telling her? Sometimes the truth, even about fires and smoke, is easier than making up a story.

Tell her it's smoke from wildfires.
