So we love our new home and the neighborhood we live in, but is it too good to be true? I got an email from the head of our neighborhood watch this weekend about the next town meeting. First on the agenda, 'living in the white dust'! Check out this article in the LA Times and let me know what you think.

Apparantly the TXI Riverside cement factory above us has been informed by the Air Quality Management District that they found "high levels of hexavalent chromium, a toxic carcinogen, in dust blowing from the outdoor "clinker piles" of the century-old plant in the Rubidoux area. And to add insult to injury, no officials had notified them." This is the same stuff that Erin Brokovich made her fame with. What a reality check.
