 According to the EPA, there are 6 measures of air pollution. Houston's
 violation was on only one measure; ground-level ozone. In 1999 and
 2000 it was higher than other cities on this one measure, and for the
 first time higher than Los Angeles. However, there are 5 other
 measures of air pollution, and several cities (including Los Angeles)
 violate at least 2 of these.

 Houston's air violates only one of the EPA's six criteria pollutant
 standards -- ozone. Nine other cities violate two or three of the
 EPA's pollutant standards. Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

 According to the EPA, there are five regions that had worse overall
 air quality in 1999 than Houston as measured by the EPA's Air Quality
 Index. Leading the pack is Riverside, California with 93 days in which
 the Air Quality Index exceeded 100. Bakersfield at 88 days and Fresno
at 81 were next highest then Atlanta with 61 days, followed by
 Knoxville with 59 days. Houston was sixth with 50 days. Source: U.S.

 Anyone who claims that Houston's smog problems are equal to or worse
 than L.A.'s is misinformed, says Kay Jones, a former EPA official who
 now consults on air quality.

 In some ways, calling Houston America's smoggiest city misrepresented
 the relative quality of air in the two cities. Los Angeles' air is
 worse than Houston's in other categories. But ozone is the primary
 pollutant of concern and therefore gets more attention, officials
 said.

 Except maybe a very dirty wet dog.  

Try the cleaning the kennels of working sled dogs...
_that_ will curl your nose hairs!  (It's the very high
protein diet.  Anyone who's tried the Atkins or
similar high-protein diet should have had a similar
experience... :P)

 Like boxes of sh*t in your house?  Get a cat.
 
True.  But it's in a little covered box down in the basement.  Some how I'd
rather deal with that a couple of times a week than everytime I walk my dog.

To each their own...
