Texas sun

The one thing I can say about Texas is that we sure have spectacular sunsets. Texas does not have the spectacular landscapes and scenes that can be found in many other place, but the light at sunrise and sunset frequently is stunning. On ozone action days the sunrises and sunsets are often particularly rich and extensive. What an irony that the dirty air helps to make the sunrise or sunset look so good. Nature and physics at play to reward us despite our careless attitude and disregard for the earth we live on. Texas must have more trucks and SUV's than anywhere else. Together with the don't care attitude form the state government about pollution the air quality is constantly degrading. When will we wake up? Clearly not as long as we have the current government (both state and federal). It is up to us to take care and take the initiative. Politicians living of the fat of their corporate sponsors sure as heck will not.
