    Much of the US is in a state of second-hand SM-OK-E(h).

    They should all come here to St. John's, the easternmost
    city in North America, where prevailing winds lately have
    been from the E, SE, and NE, resulting in cooler weather
    and lots of rain, drizzle, and fog, but no smoke yet from
    points west. Also the Lawnya Vawnya Festival is on for
    a few more days.

    Actually the festival will end the night of June 10.

    And the SM wordplay above does not mean sadomasochism
    but is a reference to Sarah McLachlan, and I doubt I
    will get an OK from her again (1995 ref) anytime soon.
