Spare the Air Continues to Baffle, Astound

Surprise! It's a Spare the Air day. Who knew? Not us. The news only just now popped up on 511.org; and to make things extra-confusing, the alert is backdated to mid-June. Apparently they saw this balmy climate coming from a long way off. Thanks, Miss Cleo!

So, avoid running heavy machinery during the day, and try not to breathe too heavily. Unlike past StA days, transit won't be free today or tomorrow, which means the Air Quality Management District's "Leave Your Car At Home" request has all the teeth of a sobbing earthworm. Still, though, do try to take transit on hot days, pretty pretty please with sugar on top.
