The hazy us but none are looking all too great and everybody has these apps on their phones. Now right a look at the air quality. And how it is around the bay area you see it is fairly uniform. This thats updated in real time, its purple air shows the amount of particulate matter in the air the dark purple. Represents the worst air that dark red is only slightly better and then the lighter shades or even better, but we dont have that much see a Little Orange and yellow well near ukiah almost but the bay area pretty red at least were not purple.

So there is no real downside in the sense that the tenan
