Obfuscation

And on a clear day...
On that clear day...
You can see forever and ever more!

Driving up Interstate 65 Ranger noted smog from Dothan, Alabama through Nashville, Tennessee. Both Montgomery and Birmingham had air quality warnings. Nashville was nasty. Here's the kicker: Cincinnati and North were clear.

Didn't the North used to be industrial? Is the South the new smog zone? It sure appears that way.

On his amble Ranger also noted that Indiana has a license plate that declares, "In God We Trust." The words "In" and "We" are downsized; "GOD" and "TRUST" magnified. The effect at first glance is "GOD TRUST." Doesn't make grammatical sense, but true believers aren't troubled by such minutiae.

He's not sure which is worse -- the smog or the license plates.
