When the Santa Anna winds blew from the east, they blew the brown air to the west out to the horizon over the Pacific and then you could see that there are actually mountains in the distance as a backdrop in the east for the LA city skyline. Seriously!Okay. That's just gross! In Toronto during the summer months you can see gray smog covering the downtown core air. Makes my lungs hurt both figuratively and literally.
It was living in the LA basin where I had my first "Gasping for air - I can't breathe" episode and had to have my terrified wife of two months rush me to the hospital! That was 1984 ... I should have seen the writing on the wall and stopped smoking back then, but ...
... I didn't.
