ps for three days our air is good, have you seen the crystal clear skies. 
Our weather people call it miserable. Talk about crazy worlds. They would 
rather tell you the weather was warm beautiful and polluted. Its almost 
unbelievable. I am sure glad they get to be in it.Warm and good is one thing 
which many people get but warm and polluted where the air turns my filter 
black after 28 days literally? Like I said before if Philly air was good all 
the people who bought homes for the cheap would not only the greatest 
climate, they would have made a fortune on their homes. This area is sooo 
perfect to clean the air with that its almost unbelievable that developers 
and policy makers wouldn't want this more then anything. We get great supply 
of warm spring, fall and winter without snow., We got location inbetween the 
shore and the mountain and we got beautiful cheap housing and amazing parks. 
To not have clean air is the one  thing holding progress back here besides 
more training and technology.
