If today is California Clean Air Day, then let's get things back to normal with California Gross Polluter Day tomorrow.

Like these silly national daze for this and that will ever make any difference. It's no wonder why our world is in the state it is in. I mean what a joke. Some guy back in the 1970s made a car run on water. He even took a trip cross country to prove it worked. How was he rewarded for his efforts?

He was found dead. Specifically, he was poisoned.

Let's do some math. We spend hundreds or even several thousand dollars on gas or diesel each year. But if our cars were powered by water, then that cost would be reduced by roughly 99 percent. And since vehicles powered by water would emit zero emissions, there would be next to no pollution.

Repeat after me: We are Americans! This is the land of the free and home of the brave. We are free!

Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage

Cast in this unlikely role
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact

Living in the limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying theme

Living in a fish eye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend

All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage

Living in the limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying theme

Living in the limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying theme
The real relation
The underlying theme

If you've never read the lyrics to Limelight by the band Rush, you should.

LA can be. Some days are more clear than other days depending upon the winds.

The real purpose of California's enacting of strict anti pollution regulations isn't to clean the air, but rather to make the lives of ordinary people more difficult. Otherwise, there would truly be less pollution in our air. But that isn't what we see, is it?

In Arizona, residents of the greater Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas are required to have their vehicles emissions tested. I used to cheat this test by pouring a gallon of racing alcohol in my gas tank and then driving to the emissions station. After that became too much of a chore, I simply registered Black Betty in Bisbee. Easy peasy.
