I have to take my inhaler at least once or twice a day when I'm outside! And the air is a nasty, cruddy yellowish-grey that obscures the beauty of the landscape. I don't know whose brilliant idea it was to pile a bunch of rotting mulch ten stories high -- and then was surprised when the heat of decomposition -- but they should be ashamed. So many people are sick because of this thing! --TwoDragons That miserable pile of mulch has caused allergy problems all across the state, and asthmatics have been affected the worse.

I don’t know whose brilliant idea it was to pile a bunch of rotting mulch ten stories high — and then was surprised when the heat of decomposition — but they should be ashamed. So many people are sick because of this thing!

I would rather rather wipe the sweat from under an obese man's breasts than use the word 'burnded'. Please, I ask you all - forgive me.
