Five for Friday – October 21, 2022

We have made it to another Friday. Air quality in the bright green pacific northwest got to pretty unhealthy levels this week, but it’s better (finally) today. I feel like I’ve been licking a dustpan. On the times when i could see my computer screen through the haze, here’s what I found this week.

Have a great week – see you in seven days.
