This afternoon I saw WeatherBug, on my computer, hit 80 for the first time in 2010. Also for the first time in 2010 I have the ceiling fan spinning above me.Maybe the Texas I've experienced the 10 years previous has returned and I won't have to depart this state seeking a better climate more conducive to mitigating the myriad woes fracturing my fragile health.
Then again, the return of warm temperatures may have heated up the air, but it sure has not cleaned it up. I'm still breathng air contaminated by who knows what, spewed by the thousands of natural gas wells that have been poked into the Barnett Shale in Texas, including one right across the street from my abode.
When you leave Texas, via motorized transport, heading northwest, it's about when you cross into Colorado that the air starts smelling fresher. By the time the motorized transport crosses the Cascade Mountains into Western Washington the air smells like Christmas trees and seems to sparkle. That sensation does not last long.
89 for the high tomorrow. That is only 11 shy of 100. Can Level Red Ozone Alerts be far behind?
Hey, Durango, there's a CHK pad site that is in violation of the FW drilling ordinance. A reader sent me a photo. check it out. Maybe you know who to call to bust 'em. Since that well is only 200' from where children live, I think it's important that they follow the few rules they have.
