The air is smokey af where I am but it’s a good excuse to stay in and dig deep into this novel :)

The air in south central Pennsylvania actually seemed better yesterday than the day before. This comment about the conditions is more of interest to your baseball blog, but a century ago, Pittsburgh had terrible air quality, and the Pirates would have been compelled to play in all kinds of smokey conditions. I wonder if you've come across any remarkable stories about that in your research. We have a story in my family about how one of my mom's aunts, who in the 1920's was a nurse in the area where Duquesne University is now, had to change her white uniform two or three times a day.
