This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I went to Bakersfield, CA for work several times. I was told by locals it has the worst air quality in the US and I'd believe it; it gets all rhe smog from the big cities nearby. You can't see to the horizon its just haze in every direction.
The cities produce some smog but in the valley most of it comes from burn piles on farms.
