Although the US State Department is discouraging travel to Russia, top doctors want foreigners to know that it's not too bad. The school year at the school where I work will even be starting one week later due to the situation. Here's a picture of how icky the atmosphere is there (credits to Miss Paula who is braving it out!)...
My cousin Jim sent me this article, that included this ironic little quip:
"It's just impossible to work," said Moscow resident Mikhail Borodin, in his late 20s, as he removed a mask to puff on a cigarette. "I don't know what the government is doing, they should just cancel office hours."Perhaps this is Nature's way of getting back at Moscow for seeding clouds...
Tommy and I have been scoping the Internet for news, and he just told me that Nizhnii Novgorod is one of the worst hit areas.
Pray for Rain!

I love that quote of the guy removing his face mask to smoke a cigarette! What's the point of the mask if you are filling your lungs with smoke anyway? It is really bad here. I would wait as long as possible to come here. I tried to change my ticket, but could not, so here I am suffering in the heat with no air-conditioning and no way to cool off my apartment and keep it smoke-free. Gail
