Man... I don't think I'd want to live in a place that has 'code red air
days'.
The worst thing in the air here is the low levels of various chemicals that
come off the now-dry Owens Lake bed... including arsenic. Not enough to
really make anybody sick per se but sinus problems here are chronic, even in
people like me that never had them before moving here. Another thing for
which to thank Mulholland, may the bastard rot in hell.

On the other hand, it's currently 109 with 22% humidity, better than double
the average, and both figure to go up in the next few hours. Probably hit
around 114 and at least 30%. Completely kills the swamp coolers. Some people
just drive their cars around so they can have some A/C- or at least they did
when gas was cheaper. Still, I think I'd rather deal with that than 'code
red air', whatever that is.

Cya,
Robert
