Scumbria,

OTOT

Since you seem obsessed by Gore's loss of the presidency, I thought you might be interested in this. Does your personal ranking agree with these scholar's opinions?

In my lifetime, only one is opined to be great, three near great, two above average, two average and three below average.

Scumbria,

You should take a stand and defend the remaining wilderness in this country, before it is too late.

To do what? To evict you from you spacious Colorado house and send you back to the tiny on in Silicon Valley? Imagine if everybody on the globe left their small apartments in the urban areas and bought multi-acre homes.

Just for a second, I forgot. It's do as I say, not as I do.

Joe

OT Hi Scumbria,

In California, a room air-filter can turn nearly black during Dec or Jan in just 7 to 21 days. This is due to Bay Area fireplace smoke - it circulates in the Bay Area and in some of the hills too.

Meanwhile, from March to Oct (when fireplaces are not used), an air-filter hardly ever turns grey.

It's amazing local leaders don't solve this particular type of pollution problem since it is relatively simple to fix, just as some populated areas in Washington have done.

Regards,
Amy J
