<html> <body> Thank's for the correction of detail Bill.   It is always nice when I visit.

Although the inversion layer  assures temperate climate, sometimes the smog is bad.   FWIW, the smog is much less than the 70's.  The real pretty days are when the wind flow reverses, due to a high pressure area over the Nevada-Utah area, and it blows (gently for the nice days) down the mountains towards the ocean. The City of Industry is 30 to 40 minutes drive from the ocean (except rush hour), and not too much farther from the mountains.  Its a little farther to the desert, which is beautiful this time of year.   Bill Shull 590 Industrial Rd 10 San Bernardino, CA (really in a small industrial zone) In a message dated 4/17/03 8:14:51 AM Pacific Daylight Time, roger.j@sasktel.net writes: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Hi Joe,             It's a California City, close to Orange County. Ontario Airport is close by.  It's inland from Los Angeles about 50 miles. A clean new community.  (Away from the LA smog) Regards Roger</blockquote> </blockquote></body> </html>
