Red Air Days

I always forget what an inversion trap this valley is, but now that we are looking at 5 days in a row of increasing 'smog' I'm quickly remembering why I dislike the winter in Salt Lake so much.

Wait, isn't this what my last post started out like??? Hmmm...I guess that is because it seems like we keep repeating this inversion...clearing....inversion....worse inversion....slight clearing....inversion cycle. I guess living downtown and working up at the University makes it much more visible to me since I can look out the window at work and see the layer of gunk sitting over where I live, where we walk our dogs, and where we shop, (not to mention where many of us have gardens that are probably soaking up this warm fuzzy layer of ozone).

I guess I should confess though. We have been contemplating getting a truck....I know, I know, what the hell is this blog about and we are gonna get a truck???? But wait, it's not to drive around SLC or even to play in the mountains, it is to work...on a farm...outside of Utah. But as of this point we are still not car (or truck) owners and when we do buy a truck it will be because we are working to learn sustainable and organic farming methods in the middle of nowhere Wyoming. So we would still technically be car free in SLC... ummm, ok maybe not...I guess we'll have for forfeit this blog when that point comes, but until then we will continue to write about our frustrations and challenges and rewards of not owning a car in SLC. Cause who doesn't love to read about other people bitching??? :)

Take care and breathe safely-
