    The nanny state has made it illegal to use your Egg. An air-quality burn ban is in effect for King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties as smoke from British Columbia wildfires blankets the region.
    This may surprise you, but I've discovered that there are some things I can eat that didn't get cooked on the Egg. Who'd a thunk it?

    Nah. It became clear right away this was going South. What started as tongue and cheek faux outrage was misinterpreted. No worries. It's been fun.

    Nanny state? WTF. The OP probably whines about burn bans too. 
     and laws against urinating in public, etc., etc., etc.
    Wait...what?
    People...people....PLEASE don't urinate in public.  
    Thats right!  Otherwise everywhere will start to smell like bourbon street.

    Is "saving the environment" the reason for the temporary grill ban or is it more a measure to prevent adding even more fine particulate matter into the air and thus into our lungs?
    "The purpose of the burn ban is to reduce any additional harm to sensitive populations from excess air pollution". Their words. There is a freaking forest fire dumping smoke in the air and these morons believe that banning charcoal grilles is going to make a difference. It's like believing that if you take a leak in Puget Sound it will have an impact on the salinity of the water.

    The lack of a smiling/winking emoji in your post seemed to indicate genuine rightwing outrage.

    "Sensitive populations" would be the term used to mean PEOPLE, people who have LUNGS and who may have respiratory problems to begin with.

    You're likely right that countywide, grills wouldn't add any really measurable amount to the airmass as a whole. However, when many folks may already be experiencing breathing difficulties having a bunch of neighbors cranking up their smokers/grills only adds to an already stressful situation.

    Hence, "reduce any additional harm to sensitive populations from excess air pollution".

    I still don't see the outrage in his original post. Never said anything negative. Simply posted facts. Where is the outrageous comment prior to others jumping to conclusions.

    Before we start screeching names and declaring cornucopias of outrage...let it be known it is Friday. 

    Can't anyone have fun anymore? ;)

    And it is officially Friday! Finished my last call and off to do errands so I can be a homebody the rest of the weekend. Lo and behold my first errand before I can even unlock the doors I'm approached by a man and a woman that apparently have run out of gas and need cash.  I'm all for helping my fellow man but when you have scratches all over your body and your teeth are falling out and eyes twitching my guess is you didn't run out of gas unless gas is meth. 
    Happy Friday Eggheads



    They meant "glass" as in they dropped their pipe, hence the scratches.

    I was having fun. The polite thing for you to do was come back with a "yo mama" joke. You're gettin' soft man.

    Yo momma is so fat that it only takes a cup and a half of warm water to fill her bathtub.

    During the height of drought here in central Texas the fire marshall sanctioned the Texas Eggfest.  
    My egg set up was inspected by the fire marshall (we back up to a preserve/recharge zone) and the only egg that I was not to use was the large on the lower pad.  The small and the mini on the upper porch were ok'd....Even though Austin is a nanny city this is Texas where Q'ing is still the king.
    Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

    People...people....PLEASE don't urinate in public.  Please urinate on Russian escorts in your penthouse suite hotel room like everyone else.
