Tony,

The point that Ted was making was that the pollution generated in SF, blows over to the East Bay.

Tony <fog>

I saw one of the coolest things a couple weekends ago. Driving back to SF (where it was 24 degrees) from Tiburon (where it was 85 degrees) on a Sunday afternoon - right before passing thru the Rainbow Tunnel there was fog up at the top of the hill. It was sweeping down the mountain at a clip of about 25 mph. It looked like a river of water, it was so thick - and it was only about 50 feet wide. It was really, really cool. It was sunny on both sides, but when you drove under it, you felt like you were under a waterfall (needless to say we were moving about 1/2 mph so I enjoyed the effect longer than I wanted)!

SF doesn't have smog. Fog, or course. I don't have any air quality numbers, but with the exposure to bay and ocean, and the winds, and the fog, I don't think it could ever be called smoggy.

Tony,

Lets put it this way...it generates something that turns brown by the time it gets to the East Bay.
