1 user(s) agreed. Agree | Disagree Subject: Exercise, but only if you don't breathe  

This just posted to the website in our area regarding the air quality in the Sierra thanks to the 1,000 wildfires still burning:

Northern Sierra Air Quality Management District advisory issued June 30, 2008

...Until the present conditions return to our usual levels of pollution, the Air District is recommending that:
INDIVIDUALS WANTING TO EXERCISE OUTDOORS SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN ENGAGING IN ACTIVITIES THAT REQUIRE BREATHING.

With that in mind, we're trying to figure out which activities we can do outdoors where breathing is optional...ideas anyone?

Agree | Disagree Subject: Haven't you heard that one....  

You know the joke of the SCUBA diver winding up in the middle of the forest.

You could SCUBA dive in a mountain lake and just breathe the air in your tank. That wouldn't require you to breathe the smoke and you'd still be outside. But watch out for the helicopters.
