NOB HILL--Buried in the back of the Food section, on page C-10 , in the (small print) legal notices is the following list of pollutants Kirtland AFB estimates they will be releasing this year.- Carbon Monoxide: 124 TONS
- Nitrous Oxides: 215 TONS
- Particulate Matter: 44 TONS
- Sulfur Oxides: 21 TONS
- Volatile Organic Compounds: 186 TONS
- Hazardous Air Pollutants: 13 TONS
20,000 people work on Kirtland AFB. Taking that into consideration it come to only 2.64 ounces of air pollution per worker per day...about the same weight as two and a half slices of Milton's Multi-grain Bread. On the other hand SO2 with a topping of NOx and CO is not just 20,000 servings of French toast.
This is a serious amount of pollution. It deserves a little more attention than being buried in the legal notices.

Thank you for sharing what I see as front page news. I can't help but wonder if this is why I seem to see fewer stars lately on cloudless nights.
For many, off the shelf bikes just won't cut it and a custom bike is the only way to go. For years, the idea of having a custom bike was out of the range of most budgets and most custom motorcycle kits were poor quality. However with the rise in interest in customized choppers, the custom motor cycle kit has become a great option for those who won't settle for any thing but a custom bike but either can't afford a Jessie James or desire a more intimate connection with their bike.
