Pictures Only Please!

So sorry Gophie.

      I was quite surprised at the smog situation in Beijing.  I'm also surprised at the measures they are going to, to try and clean this up over the next couple weeks.  It makes me wonder, that if this is in fact possible, why wouldn't measures be taken to clean it up for the good of their own citizens on an ongoing basis.

  These photos were taken in August 2005 over the course of only a week.

Virtually impossible. It would take weeks if not months for the smog to clear even if they shut down all the cars and factories.

yeah but they're shooting stuff into the sky to make it rain. lol
First olympics I'm not really interested in, in watching. NBC and their billion dollar contract is going to take a hit. Heck, I don't see the enthusiasm out there in the media and public anyway.

Uhm, is it me or in this thread, the links around here turned blue?

[P.C.]

VERY blue.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/k055.gif" border=0]

I like blue...but this blue is kinda bright.... but it's interesting that it's only in this thread and not the others I've checked so far.

  I'm glad it's not just me.

It IS a little 'IN YER FACE' blue.  [img onclick="selecte('eh.gif');" alt=emoticon src="http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/blehnet/eh.gif" border=0]
