A side note, and recommendation for others who deal with smoke.
Ozzy washed out the air filter from the heater/AC with lots of water
and put it in, still damp. The theory is, as air circulates through
the filter, the water will help pull pollutants out.
Also, it helps add some moisture to the air (for as long as it lasts)
in a very dry atmosphere.
And, he adds, it's a mental thing.
Totally Ozzy's idea.
As I said, it's a mental thing!
