FOUL STENCH HITS SOUTH ROSE PARK IN LONG BEACH

Thursday, October 28, 2021 — 6:45 p.m.

The foul stench first reported in Carson several days ago is now permeating the South Rose Park area near Temple and Seventh. Linda and I first noticed the odor about an hour and a half ago, and it has now permeated our residence, despite our best efforts to close up everything.

Given that the temerpature got close to 90 degrees today, shutting up the house is the last thing one wants to do right now.

Students wrote to me today and asked for me to respond to their poems. I hope they understand that it is impossible for me to focus on their poems right now. I am developing a headache and have no idea of when this situation will abate.

It’s one thing to have to teach on-line for almost two years.

To be forced to breathe something that resembles hydrogen sulfide goes beyond the acceptable for which an apology from public officials suffices.
