Deny they exist? That's like saying HEY I dont see unicorns that fart rainbows, but you say they exist, so clearly *I* am the one that is crazy.

I have *NEVER* seen this so called 'smog' anywhere in Omaha. Granted, I dont go out to west omaha much, but if i see nothing but clear air and clear skies... how can I be in denial?

Guess I better start believing in the rainbow farting unicorns. They seem more plausible than smog in Omaha.

lol, it isn't that big of a deal, really- most bigger cities do have it due to traffic/industrial, and hot weather- although I have to admit the last few days have been so crystal-clear, just gorgeous-

You have one car, you have emissions, no doubt. But to have smog, you have to have enough emissions to make them concentrated enough to become visible. Did I forget the fog? Sunlight? If you have all of these factors together, then you have smog. I just simply believe that Omaha doesn't have enough cars in a compact enough area to produce enough emissions to become visible and make smog. Oh, I also forgot that I believe what my eyes see, and when they see nothing, then it must not be there.

....smog happens when there is a mixture of emissions, open burning (such as the "burn days" here), and industry emissions, along with a mixture of sunlight/fog/whatever- and in a city of around 400,000, how can you think that there are not enough "emissions" to produce smog? And let's not forget industrial emissions- and am I "trying to be really technical, or something?"...?? No, not until the beginning of this post. Common sense tells you that if there are a lot of cars- and in a city this large, there are a lot of cars...have you driven down Dodge around 3:30 in the afternoon, every day? And that's just one busy street. It doesn't have to be L.A. during rush hour in order for there to be "smog" from various emissions- and truth is, in the city I lived in in California, it was the same size as Omaha- and yet it had much worse air quality than L.A.-

To be perfectly honest, I could care less if there is "smog" here or not- I mean, it isn't a deal-breaker for me. I made an observation based on past experience, and what I see AND smell, then posted a comment about it. And as for "believing what my eyes see", well...I don't see air, but I'm certainly not going to argue its existence- maybe the area you are in has less smog than the area I am in, who knows- one thing is apparent from your post, though; "I just simply believe...."....well, I also "simply believe" that most people have a good heart, but that sure doesn't make it so!

....and come on. It isn't like I said something derogatory about the NE Cornhuskers, or anything.

Now THERE'S something to get people riled up!

Those Nebraskans - you criticize anything about their city, their state, or their football team - and it's like you're calling their mom fat.

Hmm maybe you missed the boat, but most of us on the Omaha board really dont care about the huskers.

Perhaps he would enjoy watching a Omaha Lancers game? Not my cup-o-tea but I know many who are big fans

Omaha Lancers (Design, Hosting, Registration & Administration tools by esportsdeskpro.com)

But then again it just may make his withdrawal worse?
