Smog Smucks!
It’s hard enough to get up in the morning when the air is crisp and clean. So when the air is “yellow and acrid,” as one Metro Morning announcer said this morning, it’s impossible not to worry about the day before you. Today, folks are recommending masks to prevent fetid air and debris from making their way into the mouths of bikers. And the impending weather will not help stem the smog. To foster discussion about the depraved state of our air, the city will host a Smog Summit on Wednesday. We’re dubious about the signing of superfluous documents and don’t particularly enjoy watching politicos get together to sign declarations against smog, but it’s something, and we’d be remiss to think that something is not better than yellow, acrid air. The summit is free, but registration is required.
