The quarantine was bad enough, but now because of all these forest fires everything is turned up another level.
2020 is one corker of a year, isn’t it? Over the last few months my wife and I have played every card game, dice game, board game, video game, and role playing game that we have.
We have played them all to death. The fires have us more trapped and indoors than COVID ever did, thanks to all the smoke in the air, and we have totally run out of things to do. I thought it was tough being trapped inside before, but with all this smoke making the air quality dangerous, we are more trapped than ever! On a whim I went and checked the air filter in our central HVAC system, as I realized i had not changed it in a couple of months. I was blown away at how dirty the air filter was, thanks to all this extra debris and smoke in the air! Even with the doors and windows kept closed at all times, the smoke was infiltrating our house and clogging up the air filter! Thankfully I had a few spare air filters, but just to be safe I kept the dirty one to see if I could clean it up to reuse it. I would prefer not to use an old dirty air filter, but if I have no choice in the matter than I will make do! I hope these fires go away soon, so the air filter thing never becomes a real problem.
