Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when the Panzermobile was shaken by crying and shouting coming from outside. Following all the noise took our big, brave kitty boy to the Publishers Weekly site. There with a little digging he discovered a post about the wildfires on the west coast of the US was the cause of the angst.
According to the post by Jason Boog, wildfires on the west coast of the US (which includes California, Oregon and Washington) are causing havoc. Booksellers' and publishers' sales already ravaged by Covid-19 now have to deal with the wildfires and their attendant side effects. Company employees have not only had to evacuate their homes, but in many cases those same homes have been destroyed by the fires. Bookstores are either closed because of the smoke and ash in the air or if open have limited customers. There are links included in the post to a photo of the sky over San Francisco, a Go Fund Me page, and a donations page for bookstores.

Panzer says, "We can't go outside because the television said we have the worst air pollution in the world."
Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection.
