Strange Morning

So, I just went outside to get my newspaper off the lawn (if you're not subscribing to your local paper, you're wrong. But more about that later), and the way it feels outside right now is very strange. Its humid, almost muggy outside. It's the end of summer but still seventy degrees. At the same time I could still smell the acrid smoke and see it in the air. All this despite it having rained at some point last night. I guess that's what is strange, that its still so smoky out despite the rain. The rain is supposed to clean the air, but evidently we didn't get enough rain to do the job, so its muggy out AND still smoky at the same time. It was just strange.
