Smoke, pollen, mosquitoes, oh my. If this doesn't tell you how dire the situation in Northern America is about to be, nothing will. The earth was almost leprous, the sky looked like something out of Avatar: Seven Havens, and the insects were in a frenzy. Some places do have an inclination to fire, but all this is being aggravated by people who at first don't fully know what they're doing, all while asking others for help in curbing it before blaming it on different things or not even focusing on it. The least everyone can do is act a little more gratefully.
