Nh...I'm gonna get a count on the body bags when the athletes die of smog.

695210 2008-08-09 05:13:00 I'm not too familiar with the writings of Benjamin Disraeli, Joe . When did he find time to write books - as I understand it, he wrote letters that were subsequently collated and published as books???

On a more serious note though, Veale was dissing Dilbert!!!! :stare:

But I like the fact that you drop names like Heinlein and Asimov in alongside Joyce and Zola . . . .

Ah! But did YOU find the ringer?

Not everybody who lives in California also lives in LA .

I am about 150 miles away . . . and though the LA smog is NOT a problem, we have our own local smog-generator called The Inland Empire ( . wikipedia . org/wiki/Inland_Empire_" target="_blank">en . wikipedia . org(California)) which is comprised of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties . . they make a lot of smog from what's left of the factories that haven't gone to China yet .

Hemet/San Jacinto (where I live) is a giant toilet bowl that captures the smog like in a giant petri dish and lets it fester here, killing and maiming people who don't believe that it's bad because they cannot "see" nitrous oxide . :dogeye:

I can feel NOx on my lips, eyes and throat when it's here . It's heavy and lies close to the ground, bumping the oxygen to a little higher altitude by displacement .

We don't get the dark sky-stains of hydrocarbons and particulates very much at all in the air any more . . . that's all legislated away .

We get fumes from batteries being charged, vapors from "clean cars" engines when they burn methanol and selenium bromides from the catalytic converters as they work .

We get cow-farts, which are rich in methane and whatever else they decided to feed them that day . I wonder if some of the sting in the smog is from feeding them orange peels? Hmmmm . . . gotta research that later!

So . . . we don't really get the old fashioned stuff . . . our smog is cutting edge and modern .
