Hats and masks, everyone.
Back at my college, there was a gargoyle that wore a gas mask. It was the subject of many jokes, but now the jokes on me as today I got to see my son and his classmates wearing masks and hats for their walk to school. Helicopters flew overhead this morning and sprayed pesticides over the town. I'm not aware of any cases where towns do this to their residents back on my home planet.
