Thanks! The smoke is fierce in the West now. Reduced speeds. Judge that conservatively for night driving.

Just purchased some N95 particle masks. Never bothered during previous burns, but really would rather be prepared for smoke/haze/condition alpha. A 10-pack is fairly cheap.

We have smoke collecting in the valley here in Utah from the fires further west. Red air days!
