We just touched down in Oakland where I was able to upload post I wrote an hour ago when taking off. Here's another LA smog photo took from plane an hour ago and truth is I am more excited with the technology that allows me to share from a plane in real, or almost real, time. Thank you, iPhone! While I didn't take Bay Area aerial photo, the sky had a grayish haze in background though nowhere the degree of LA, the smog capital of the western world. There is hope if we change and get onto clean fuels and transport. I can't say I did my part today by virtue of boarding this plane. Passengers are now boarding for second leg of flight to Seattle.
