Inversion = Headaches

Once upon a time

I thought chocolate was giving me headaches.

I was totally wrong (phew).

But I think I figured out the problem.

I'm pretty sure it was the poor air quality last month.

I noticed that those several weeks of inversion just happened to coincide with my weeks of headaches.

Hmmmmmm

And then, when the inversion cleared out, my headaches vanished as well!

My new goal:  Don't breathe the inversion-polluted air.

Pfbt.  I know, easier said than done.

But really, I know Utah went through some terrible inversion a few weeks ago with 130 micrograms/cubic meter.  But what we were breathing was nothing compared with China (900 micrograms/cubic meter).

Note to future self: When you finally/eventually/miraculously visit China, don't go in the dead of winter.
