Of course not everyone is going to know about this notice.
.
Anticipate that some peoples’ undies will get wadded up about it.

Good luck!

I heard that each worker is required to wear 15 pieces of flare”
Is that why my lawn looks like hell?
Sacramento has the Beam , Martinez gets the Flares .
Martinez Guy: yes thats why your lawn looks like hell. Its more than just flaring. The pollutants released are incredible. We gotta move from here. It is so bad, especially when it is rainy or overcast. It is as if they think we cannot distinguish between brown stinky smog and cloud cover… or greenish stinky smog and tulle fog.
