Some places do have it year round. L.A., Mexico City, Beijing, and it really sucks living in those locations if you have breathing problems to begin with. Laws are passed, but not well enforced. This year, thanks to the new Military government, there is a more heavy-handed approach to dealing with the problem in Thailand, but unless it's done by all the governments, the air quality won't improve by much.

Maybe, back in the day, the somewhat older people thought the same of me. Could be. Don't know. I've considered myself to have been more serious and more disciplined at that age, as compared to many of my peers, but I could have been wrong.
So... then I read this:
1978? Before I was born? Wait. Let me count that.
2015 - 1978 + 30-ish or so... makes... 67. Possibly older. Give or take a year or two.
I still have three decades and then some to go before I reach that. Thanks man. Now I don't feel like an old dude anymore.  |
I'll be 69 at my next birthday. Parts of me are starting to fossilize.
I remember when Noah was just a midshipman. I remember when God's dog was a puppy, and Cleopatra played with dolls.
I was born about a thousand years ago
And there's nothing in the world that I don't know.
I saw Peter, Paul, and Moses
Playing Ring Around the Roses
And I'll sock the guy who says it isn't so!
On the other hand, I've just added racing stripes to my walker.
