Wayne,
You must have some of our transplanted politicians up there. As for the outdoor barbecuing, there are days that it is banned here. They wanted to make it permanent but it is almost impossible to enforce such a stupid law as so many people live scattered throughout the mountains. So they decided that on
BAD air days they would stop it. I don't think they have ever tried stopping anyone though. And besides, they are to busy making sure that our lawn mowers are environmental friendly they don't have time for that. Sometime back they even put out a warning in the local joke we call a newspaper that if you mow your lawn, you should dispose of the cut grass in an approved way. Never did say what the approved way is.
