Friday's opening shot

Another reader-submitted photo from last evening... Houston at Norfolk... 


Per reports: 
Air quality is expected to improve gradually by the weekend as shifting winds help disperse wildfire smoke. However, periodic smoke episodes may continue over the next few days, with additional plumes possible as long as wildfires remain active in Minnesota and Canada. 
As previously noted, in response to the wildfire smoke, the city is making free masks available at the locations on this map.

    I have been getting headaches from this air...
