We would sometimes camp out in the low hills east of the city in a state park. From there at ANY time of the day you will see the HUGE nasty looking HEAVY Cloud of smog cloaking the entire city in its deadly embrace. NO matter what season, before a rain, after a rain, DURING the rain (Not that it rained that much). Windy or still no matter. The smog is always there.It aint marine layer......... or fog.

I know what Los Angeles was like 30 years ago, your lungs burned from the air when you played outside. I've lived inland, I've lived on the coast. I have friends who live inland now, I live effectively on the coast now. How it was 3 decades ago when you lived 120 miles from Los Angeles and how it is now is not even night and day, even when you compare out in Riverside and the rest of the Inland Empire.That said, where I live now, 2 miles from the coast, near Santa Monica, it's not SMOG. Only when there are Santa Ana winds (the winds that blow from the high deserts off of the Santa Ana mountains) do we get the SMOG out here on the coast. I know, I can tell you which days it's happening, my lungs can tell you which days it's happening. The rest of the time, it's not SMOG. In fact, it's clear more days than not. But, you're right, you probably know better than I do.

At least none of the copies I was sent anyway.I have two copies of each type of the Bottle City Module (4 total) and NONE of them are numbered x/51.ALL of them are signed and numbered by hand x/ 500 with the 500 being in print, the LE's and SA's both.The LE's (and not the SA's) had the Module number added by hand (RJK-1).The only other real difference in the signatures is the color of ink (Green for the LE's, and black fo the SA's) and the size of the map (Larger for the LE's, and the map was folded into fourths) and a copy (Scan/print) of several pages of Rob's original notes for the game in the package for the LE's.Perhaps the LE's that were being replaced later on due to shipping damage are different, but neither of the LE's I have (#11 and #12) were numbered x/51 as you stated.
