API 81 PJ

Quote of the day: When life gives you bread, don't make sandwiches, make bread jelly.

The API reading for Petaling Jaya averaged 81 recently, which is considered moderate. Moderation couldn't come at a better time. During the fasting month, it is bad enough that Muslims experience hunger, now they have to put up with the unsightly amount of smoke in the air. My pity lies with the young children. Young infants like Mr. A's 22-months son are already catching the plague (exaggeration here), bad enough to ground him at home and unable to attend the leadership camp. Such is life.

The worst act I've seen is smokers smoking so much smoke they possibly could be the major cause of the haze to start with. And they cough. Badly. If I stayed to watch them any longer I bet they would vomit out blood. It's not like we have no trouble moving through the dense foliage of haze, the smokers add even more particles in front of them. They should go blind too.

We (not the smokers) hope that the reading drops drastically (not moderately). Till then, BAH-HUM-BUG!
