Something’s in the Air

Whoever told Canada to blow on us should be strung up. And no, this is not the three days’ darkness but it sure is weird.

My wife texted me that a friend on Long Island had told her the health department made the following announcement. “Spending five minutes outside in this smoke is the equivalent of smoking six cigarettes.”

“You should get up to Masapequa while the prices are this low,” she said to me.

Ha. Ha.

This morning I went to Mass at the parish in Harrisburg, PA. On my drive I could literally smell fire in the air in the cabin of my car. When I stepped out in front of the church I encountered a man in a mask taking pictures with a high end camera pointed down the block. I stepped around the back of my vehicle to see what his subject was. It was the state Capitol building two blocks away. Only it was completely obscured.

This is certainly weird, folks. In all my years on this earth I have never seen anything like it. Whether it’s from a naturally occurring wildfire way north of us or not, I cannot say.

But one thing I do know…

Stay confessed.

St. Catherine of Siena, pray for us!
