I seriously hate this neighborhood sometimes.

This is one of those times. Too many idiots seem to think that because they have fireplaces they ought to use them on nights like tonight. Combine that with the twits who burn leaves on the weekend and I can barely breathe. My nostrils are burning, my throats scratchy, the phlegm is going overtime. I'm gagging and choking.

Seriously, I wonder if I'm going to live long enough to move out of this awful place.

>>Would breathing behind a damp handkerchief help any?

Okay, I wasn't going to but I have to add,

A wet cloth might work short term but I don't think it's sustainable for hours and hours especially while trying to sleep. :) Not to mention the tendinitis that's sure to result.

Or am I missing something here?

You'd probably need something more like an entire damp tent to sleep inside, yeah. I'm aware it's not practical longterm, I was just throwing out short-term thoughts you'd probably already had and sympathy. :)

Ah...:) One idea I considered was sealing up an area airtight with plastic and using a HEPA filter system. Something along the lines of a clean room. :) Yes, I know how dangerous and unwise it could be to actually do that.

Yeah, I'm glad you decided not to risk suffocation there. :)
