Los Angeles can continue being the butt of smog jokes now that it has once again topped the American Lung Association's bad air list of most polluted cities in America.
The association found that the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside metropolitan area had the worst air based on 2003 through 2005 figures.
The Pittsburgh area was ranked as the nation's second most polluted metropolitan area followed by Bakersfield, Calif., Birmingham, Ala., Detroit and Cleveland. Visalia, Calif., Cincinnati, Indianapolis and St. Louis rounded out the top 10.
I think the air is bad here, particularly during the summer. I can't imagine what it must be like in L.A.
Hi Sharon! Who knew that living in South Dakota was really a good thing?? :~)
ReplyDeleteHow have you been? How is your dad?
Have you been having much luck with the organic vegetables? Our farmers market starts this weekend and I start picking up my CSA veg next - I am really looking forward to it. Have you had much luck finding organic meat and poultry?
I'm doing pretty well. My dad is doing about the same. We have sitters coming several times a week now and I am hopeful that it will help with the burden of his care. I really think it will be good for him to have some company other than me, as well.
ReplyDeleteThe only organic produce I have atm is from Whole Foods or Central Market. I think my local farmer's market is supposed to have some stuff soon. Evidently, they don't have CSAs here, which is really disappointing, but there is an organic farm about 50 miles away that I might be able to use.
How have you been? :)
