(I'll be on the bike again tomorrow, just like any other day!...Ed)

The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Ozone Alert!
for the Tulsa Metro area for Thursday, 6-15-06.

Active children, adults and especially people with respiratory disease
such as asthma should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.

ACTIONS:

AVOID DRIVING.
Ride the Bus... its only 50 cents on Ozone Alert! Days sponsored by Sunoco
Ride your bike to work.
Telecommute if possible.

IF YOU MUST DRIVE...

Combine trips, cars pollute the most when they are first started.
Turn your vehicle's A/C off for the morning commute.
Refuel in the evening and avoid spilling gas.
Avoid long idle times.
Brown bag it for lunch rather than going out.

OTHER WAYS TO HELP:
