I say send out herds of teamed feral or domestic cats to absorb, in their matted, already stinking fur, the toxic smokiness which fills our nation with a carcinogenic mist of unparalled proportions.
Make the blighters earn their way, rather than carry on about nothing as their lot usually does, lying about, and breathing the filthy, caliginous air.

Most of the U.S. is enveloped in a thick choking smoke!
Dry lightning in my neck of the woods tonight, that should make things better. 😕

On the other hand, a little looting might be nice. I'd kinda like a flat-screen TV.
