Don’t miss the June gloom, though, that’s for sure.

April 10 until c. July 10, and May was beyond wonderful. A friend from the O.C. told me all about "June Gloom," and I was like, yeah, right, whatever. Until June hit. I lived in central Pasadena and actually deliberately *walked* over to the Huntington five days a week, drawing a lot of silent scrutiny I'm sure. My bare arms were always freezing on the morning walk, but after a half-day in the Library-- which I was figuratively spending in 18th Century England, with its "damps" and consumptives-- I'd walk out for lunch and the gray mist was burned off and the San Gabriels were shimmering on the horizon. It always seemed miraculous to me. The walk back into town was much nicer. Wish I was out there now! Have a *great* conference, and do report to us leftbehinds!!

A professor in the natural sciences happily told me about moving his family away from campus, up and out of the smog. He lamented having to drive, but it was just what he had to do for the health of his children. (That is, he pollutes other people's children's air in order to protect his own.) I'm sure it is just bad luck but this vignette adequately describes my experiences of the place. The last time I was at Caltech, I got into a conversation over dinner about air quality.
