Hazy days of summer

So not only is Bakersfield getting all of the pollution from the entire central valley, but now we have to deal with bad air from the southern coast. Arvin has the worst pollution in the country, and it's only going to get worse. But at least we know that this pollution isn't caused by too many people driving big SUV's by themselves, but instead millions and millions of trees going bye bye.

For the past two weeks we have had a huge plume of smoke traveling across the coast mountains from the Los Olivos area to grace Bakersfield with it's presence. It has made for some really cool sunsets, but unfortunately, some very disgusting skies.

Remind me again why Bakersfield is one of the fastest growing cities in the US?
