Mark emailed me and said the air quality was very bad again today...:(

He went from Moscow to Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia on Friday, and the smoke is there too...:(

Nothing I can do but sit on the other side of the world and feel helpless...:(

I just have to put Mark in God's hands...that's all I can do...

Mark is over 12,000 miles and 8 hrs time zone difference away from home...

wildfires like these make electric cars pointless.

THESE ARE PHOTOS MY SON TOOK IN RUSSIA

My son Mark just sent me these 2 photos from Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia...they are taken at the same place...one day clear, the next day smoky...

He went from Moscow to Vladimir to Nizhniy Novgorod to Kazan, and he will be returning to Moscow tomorrow...he said it is the same everywhere...some days are better than others, depending on the wind direction...

I cannot imagine how bad it is there right now...add the high temps to the smoke too, and it is horrible...keep in mind that most places have no AC, so the windows are open...the average temps this time of year are usually 75 degrees and the temps have been 100 degrees for the last 2 months straight...it is said to be the worst heat wave ever in Russia...

Thank you...I hope so too...the only contact I have with him is by email and he doesn't always get WiFi where he is, so I have to wait for days to hear back from him sometimes....:(

I just got another email from Mark right now and he said the temperature right now is 45!!!

Quite an extreme difference after 2 months of 100 degrees....

He also told me to stop worrying...lol...I told him that was my job as his mom...

Just thought you would like to know...

Glad you heard from Mark. Our newspaper indicated that Russia had gotten the "all clear" on their problems - so hopefully things will get back to normal??

What's up with their weather though?? Wow, 45???

I get nervous when my kids are a couple miles away and I can't get in touch with them, nevermind in another country!!
