Nice. Has the dry/smoky conditions start to subside?
Currently, Here at Aurora, ME...67F Degrees, Dew Point 63F Degrees, Winds NNE 6MPH, Clear....
One of the advantages of living in the country is one can scream and walk-out their frustrations without their neighbors calling 911!
The Laptop (which is our lifeline to friends and family since we are so isolated and my means of self-expression), decided to become temperamental (of course, after a Windows 10 Update) and die...Could not reboot...I'd have to take it in to be repaired (and this before a weekly writing and an upcoming week's vacation)!
You can imagine the language, the rants (of a writer suppressed), the tirades, the STOMPING...only to lead me to the far-side of the upper, Beaver Pond (whose parents I found calmly swimming in front of me)! How could they be so calm? I ranted and sometimes-screamed across the Meadows until I arrived at the door-step of their home!
I felt like a heel...how could I go screaming across the Meadows and arrive at a place where it was tranquil...where the Beavers were raising their young and swimming calmly in front of me in a, "Figure Eight," pattern! My frustrations began to dissolve and I was immediately calmed as I continued to watch these two parents swim in front of me! You see, last year we barely approached them and they slapped the water and fled with their young....
I slowly returned across the Meadows and entered the shed and our home....I heard a still, small voice tell me to pick-up the the Laptop and turn it on again......As I did so, everything was all right...The problem was resolved..
Here's to those frustrations that lead us to a deeper understanding of where we are and who we are...Here's to those frustrations that lead us to hold onto Hope and (though anger may rise) rest in Joy! Here's to those parents who are steadfast in the storm of life and calm others with their presence!

Yes, thankfully. The smoke had begun to come back yesterday and it was quite the hazy start to the day today. This pattern we're in now should help to put an end to the fires all across the west.
I know you're being sarcastic, but 80's with low humidity is just about perfect IMO
I imagine the locals must find a huge relief. Will there be a lot more people active? I imagine it'll look like here in the spring after a long, cold winter.
went for a hike late afternoon. Sun + humidity bothered me. Sun angle was kinda low but it was right on the edge of my vision in the direction I was walking so irritating. It was 84°F with a dewpoint of 64°F, not really that strong. Maybe I'm just not used to it after mild weather for a month and a half? I'd manage fine in the summer, though on many humid days I try to go in the morning to avoid the worst of the heat. But 64°F isn't especially humid for summer... thought I'd cope better

Can't be the 4 degree difference that is making it cool and comfortable. Maybe. Stupid Sun with high dews and no wind.
yea, I find sun makes a big difference on whether humidity is tolerable. And you wouldn't notice the sun if the humidity was lower. Might just be the temperature for you; 73°F is low enough the dewpoint doesn't affect temperature perception much, at least if you're not active. But I think it's the sun, too.

I'm sure there will. This upcoming spell of weather is more typical of the second half of October for us rather than the second half of September (specifically talking next weekend)
