Vog Blog

Yesterday I woke up with a migraine.










Today I could not breathe and had to take some puffs of my emergency asthma inhaler. It left me shaky all morning.


The weather forecasters call it VOG. Volcanic haze from the Big Island - largely sulfur dioxide.
Mixed with water, sulfuric acid.



It hides the mountains from sight, makes whole towns fade into obscurity, can't be healthy for anyone.

Yuck.

ps- I'm not the only one. This appeared in the local paper's letters to the editor:

Vog in my throat

What’s with this weather?

I was playing music last night at Cafe Coco and couldn’t sing too good, ‘cause I had a vog in my throat.
