| 494562 | 2006-10-26 23:16:00 | The smoke, however, is very thick and makes it hard to breathe and my eyes are watering.I thought that was quite normal for Western USA pollution? :rolleyes: | Greg (193) | ||
| 494563 | 2006-10-26 23:26:00 | I thought that was quite normal for Western USA pollution? :rolleyes: I may be a little more susceptible to smog and smoke as I spent years in chemicals up to my armpits most of the time I wrenched for a living. Carb cleaners, solvents, aerosol spray chemicals, paints and thinners, lacquers, lube oils and fuels, etc, etc. It might have set me up for a very heightened sensitivity to them all including smog. Hemet has it's nitrous oxides, not the photochemical type smog. It lays in this valley like quicksilver in a toilet bowl (dummy to you), and won't go away until the winds get going really good. But this smoke from fires is a little overboard...even to people who aren't so weakened. Be fair...OK? |

| 494564 | 2006-10-27 00:08:00 | toilet bowl (dummy to you)I think the locals, or at least the farm folks, call it a dunny. | Greg (193) | ||
| 494565 | 2006-10-27 02:28:00 | AH! I only heard the word in a Crocodile Dundee movie and I guess what with his accent, I misunderstood the spelling...sorry. |
