Out, out, damn smog!

Wah lau, the PSI crossed 400 today! And people are scrambling to get hold of N95 masks.

Our thoughts should also go to the helpless ordinary folk living in the affected parts of southern Sumatra who live in close proximity to the plantation fires and the smog, and to the firemen there doing their best. To them all I dedicate this Bob Dylan song, Blowin' In the Wind:

All I need is the air that I breathe? (Smog gets in their ire)

Some people did not take kindly to the McDonalds' ad (see yesterday's blog entry for the ad) and the company decided the wise thing was to apologise (ST, June 21)...


But Scoot and Qantas could not resist persuading Singaporeans to take flight instead...

I'll wrap up with this bumper sticker, with the fervent wish the bloody smog will go away!...
