Day 1255: More ado

eve_primeMy current work task is to get all the references into shape for my book manuscript, so that I won't have to stress over it at some future point. It's not that bad, although slow, because there are more than 300 of them. I've cited lots of these sources before, but in psychology authors are always listed by initials, so even if I've already cited a source, now I have to find out what all the first names are. Thankfully, Google Scholar makes it easier.
Today was the closing night for "Much Ado About Nothing," and I did want to see it again, so even though the air quality was "moderate" rather than good, I went, and lots of other people did too. The smoke didn't bother me too much. The sky was definitely hazy, but the actual particulate level was just at 20 ppm when I got there, and maybe 30 when I left (and accurate, too, since the "stage" is only a short walk from the measuring equipment). One can smell the smoke when it's over 12-15 ppm, but it's not considered a health risk until it's rather higher than it was today. Of course, the cleaner the air, the better - but I did enjoy seeing the play again.
(The highest particulate level so far this year was 328.7 ppm on August 13, and that was still pretty trivial compared with the year that we could see the wildfire smoke inside our houses.)
