A Times article seemed to think that "most people" are wearing cloth masks. But several sources say N95s are helptul. Hochul is going to distribute a million of them.

From the Times article I referenced:
Do masks help?
A little. An N95 respirator mask, worn properly, can filter out some of the particles. But it does little to protect against harmful gases in wildfire smoke, like carbon monoxide. The looser facial coverings some of us wear now to lower our risk of spreading or becoming infected with the coronavirus will provide negligible protection against wildfire pollutants.

(not a ringing endorsement...)

yes, indeedy. My brother works w/ them so, to save money, i'm bundled w/ him. He had no idea. I get only maybe 1 bar 4 km from downtown Orlando, and if I go to my brother's house in the burbs, there is no coverage in his front yard (bizarre, as there's coverage in the back yard and the neighbors).

As a young jazz purist, I scoffed at the Lounge Lizards when the now-famous rocker next door recommended them to me. My loss. The music outlasted my prejudice.

Painting With John is very calming and sweet, even when he gets cranky. Episodes are short (16-24 mins) and he brings in some fabulous characters from his Caribbean community.

Most of my scoffing was "fusion" jazz (not Miles/Ornette, but the pop type stuff). We all gotta scoff when we're young.
