Air was noticeably brown and smelly today. Is anyone paying attention to these warnings?

The Air Quality Index from Redwood City registered as moderate, and low moderate at that. I don't think our problems even come close to Beijing, not to mention the Los Angeles basin, where I grew up.

It looks like Spare the Air days get declared for all counties when there are very few areas that are really polluted.

$500 if you get caught, though.
