This is Upgrade, episode 220. Today's show is brought to you by Pingham, Fresh Books, and Lunar Display.

My name is Mike Hurley and I am joined by Mr. Jason Snow.

Hello, Mike Hurley.

Hello.

Can you see me through the horrible smoke actually that's outside my window right now?

I got the air filter running and I'm breathing in air that is

hopefully filtered a little bit. Yeah there is, you know, I don't necessarily, we shouldn't spend a ton of time about it because this is a fun show, but there are some just horrible things happening in California right now.

Yeah, pretty much.

It's really, really terrible.

It's breaking my heart.

I'm going to put some links in the show notes to the Red Cross

if you want to donate to help with the fires that are happening in California right now.

It's our hearts go out to the people that are dealing with this situation.

Yeah, I definitely, I grew up in not that far north,

but in the foothill region,

and I actually know people who have family

who were in that area.

So it's a and then there's some stuff in Southern California that's really bad too.

So but it's yeah, it's quite a disaster.

It's awful and it is terrible air quality for more than a week and a half here in the

Bay Area too and we're very far away and the whole Central Valley is covered in smoke
