I get to work on my dryer today.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

Due to severe asthma and the air quality being so bad. I haven't been able to leave the house since Monday. I love staying home and working from home, but I'm starting to go a little stir crazy for being stuck at home.

Damn wish you lived in a less polluted area, I'm myself in middles of dirty town with desert around, tho I don't have any breathing issues it still feels not gold, I should consider moving somewhere with more green stuff and mountains

I love the prairies and couldn't imagine living anywhere else (I get claustrophobic in places where I can't see enough of the sky). But when the northern half of Canada is burning there isn’t really anywhere to move to that won't be affected.
