The Poverty Jet Set: Back in Cleeeean Ol’ Philly

    Cough, cough, cough, yes it is bad. the worst in fact. we are dying here in january. when the inversion is bad the refineries and factories turn it on even more! People are wearing those little blue masks over their noses to filter the air. I thought there were just a lot of Emergeny Room workers at the store 'til I realized they were wearing them to filter the air they breathe. On the news, warnings are issued for people to not exercise outdoors or for the very young or the very old or people with respiratory conditions to stay inside. I want to move. i hate january. It's february 2 and a storm blew it out for a day but it should be back by monday. do I sound depressed or something? margmary in stinky salt lake city.

    Worst air I've ever breathed was when I was stuck in traffic during rush hour in Cape Town. Paris is a close second.

    Cape Town, eh? Didn't know they were known for bad air. Although it does get windy there, doesn't it?

    You wouldn't think, since it is on the coast at the base of a mountain--one of the most spectacular settings for a city on this planet--but the deisel was overwhelming. I was sick afterwards.
