Overlooking that is the big present day illusion.

I am running late - intending to be out the next 2 to 3 weeks away from computer. I'm glad to stay in touch with your concerns - and seriously I know the garage situation is frustrating. The last two motels I ever checked into years ago I slept out in a parking lot.

Anyway - I just have to stay out of town a lot - even there the pollution reaches - its difficult.

Keep in touch if you want - get us some members! smile...

I've been out for years at remote locations and have made subjective comparisons concerning affect on me and how the visibility looks - but I wonder what actual measurements would reveal? I guess they are quite expensive and perhaps not very portable?

I'm glad your "mildly sensitive" - I've been severe to where I've really had to avoid - thus the remoteness. Usually I'm out a few weeks at a time - sometimes 3 in the winter - so it can be that long between my trips to the computer. I have noticed also that copiers are painful - a head pain and somewhat woosy like.

Thanks for joining - I hope it helps us encourage others to join also.
