If you live anywhere near the West Coast of the USA, you already know exactly what I’m talking about. For the last 8+ days everyone who lives anywhere near me has been living 24/7 in a huge incense censer. As if COVID wasn’t enough to keep us apart, now many of us are dealing with the unhealthiest air on the planet. This creates a strange situation for incense makers. Have you ever tried to test a new incense blend while standing in the world’s largest censer? The only respite we get from this thick air is in well-sealed rooms in our houses. The last thing anyone wants is to light incense and add more smoke and ash to the situation. Living in an incense censer is NOT a good thing.

I did want to take a moment and remind everyone who is dealing with this situation, that there is more going on here than evacuations and closures.
