The weather was perfect for a Memorial Day picnic: cloudless skies, low humidity, and temperatures in the 60s and 70s around Boston.

Well, it is a war worship weekend.
So why then, from Framingham to Boston to the Cape, did the sky look like a bad day in Los Angeles and the air smell like burning wood?
Yeah, I was wondering what that was.
The answer: dozens of wildfires burning about 100 miles north of Montreal, and 400 miles from Boston, that have sent plumes of smoke and haze southward.
Smoke from some 50 forest fires in Quebec lingered over Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont yesterday, leading some to fear local fires were breaking out, and prompting health officials to issue warnings....
Yeah, I WAS WONDERING about that ODD GRAY SKY OUTSIDE and why I was feeling a burning in the back of my throat while being unable to clear it.

It sure didn't look like it this morning.
Must they distort or lie about everything?
