a breath of fresh air

So, a little while ago I was sweeping up fallen ceiling plaster in the front bedroom closet when it suddenly struck me that inhaling plaster dust is probably not a good thing. So I was careful after that to hold my breath while plaster was moving around and to turn my head to take a breath. The closet's ten feet long, but that's still not much exposure time.

When I finished, I decided the sensible thing to do would be to sit out on the back porch, read for awhile, and get some clean air into my lungs.

Later I came back inside, sat down at the PC, and started going through my daily bookmarks. Hmm, wonder what this Special Weather Advisory is?
