London's burning

It didn't wake me up today, even though I've heard that people heard it in Holland. I saw the news flashes later on and didn't realize it was so big. But right now, I'm choking and my eyes are watering.

Some sort of gas depot blew up this morning about 25 miles north of here. The smoke has been overhead all day although for a while I was having trouble picking out which part was fog and which was smoke. I'm thinking that I won't be riding my bike to work tomorrow, the normal pollution is probably unhealthy enough without riding through thick smoke like this. I guess the sunrise should be pretty spectacular though.
