## Resource

Wildfire smoke from Ely, Minnesota, is blanketing eastern Minnesota—including Mankato and the Twin Cities—with unhealthy air quality expected through Monday. Driven by wind, the smoke forces residents indoors, especially those with respiratory issues, as crews battle fires and set up temporary housing on a high school football field. Officials are monitoring closely as the situation evolves. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
