>>the mini cooper was top down<<

That's too bad. Life should be difficult and challenging. Hardship and suffering are good.

Finally getting cold and wintery here. I'm heading out to enjoy it. ;)

Names are interesting. Good joss. <the mini cooper was top down, driver toasted, but detected no pollution of consequence, only the air of good joss >

A colleague in London, when we gazed out of the high floors of Britannic House in the 1980s, with me moaning about the disgusting air said it was just haze.

After a day working in downtown London, my nose would have haze in it and the haze from my white shirt would turn washing water brown. The corners of my eyes would have haze in them too. I enjoyed running in those days, but several times, when going for a run in the evening, I would return at a walk after a few hundred metres, with the haze too thick for pleasant breathing and the effort seeming like a get sick project rather than get fit.

I took up buying bottled water there because the water from taps was so disgusting that unless made into tea or coffee, it was not potable.

The haze on leaves made their surfaces dull [in NZ, leaves glisten brightly]. If there was condensation of a night, there would be little rivulets of yellow on my Lada by morning, where the haze was washed off.

Joss and haze must be the same thing.
