Virginia 1, Ontario 0
Yesterday and today have been declared "code orange" on the smog advisory scale in Northern Virginia. The scale goes from green, meaning it's a decent summer day, to purple, meaning go outside at your own risk, the temperature is over 40 without the humidex, and the air looks a lot like pea soup (but doesn't taste anywhere near as good...I do miss me some Habitant).
But the really interesting thing to me, that gives Virginia a point advantage here, is that on code orange days and above, the Transit authorities in the metropolitan areas of Northern Virginia give free bus rides. FREE. F-R-E-E. OC Transpo only gives free bus rides on Canada Day, and the last time I rode the subway in Toronto I vaguely remember having to get someone to cosign the loan forms for my fare...
