    Going to Beijing: Got Mask?

    17 days out, the Chinese government is initiating their anti- pollution plan.

    Judging from the recent pictures, they may have waited too long.

    Here I thought you were looking to replace a cracked visor at the last minute.

    Anybody want to place bets on how many days of rain they schedule and seed?

    Perhaps someone could fit the Lexan masks with rebreathers. There's a business opportunity for you. No charge.

    Would it be considered doping if you were to find a way a utilize fresh air? Would it cause a unfair advantage?

    So far, little joy with the remove cars/close factories plan to clear the air...

    Now, they're looking at "emergency measures."
