Air Quality Action Day

Today we have an orange alert Air Quality Action Day. That means that you can ride KAT Buses for free and carpooling is encouraged. Things you can do:

  • Conserve electricity and set your air conditioner at a higher temperature.
  • Choose a cleaner commute—share a ride to work or take a KAT bus or other public transportation. Bicycle or walk to work or for errands.
  • Wait until another day to use gasoline-powered lawn and garden equipment.
  • Refuel cars and trucks after dusk.
  • Combine errands and reduce motor vehicle trips.
  • If you’re going to stop your car for more than a couple of minutes, turn it off. It saves gas and reduces pollution!
  • Wait until another day to use household, workshop, and garden chemicals.

Can’t Move – with thanks to Bob Seger

I woke this morning to the feel of panic
Laid in bed and tried to handle it
Started thinking what had to be done
Ain’t it funny how the panic grows
When you seem to have everything to lose
Strange because you can’t move
With the walls closing in.

taken from Bob Seger’s "Night Moves"

I woke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain’t it funny how the night moves
When you just don’t seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in

I could have fun doing the rest of the song.
