Something About Fog Trucks

I was just reading that Winnipeg has introduced "Fog Trucks" (trucks that spew insecticide resulting in a fog effect) to combat the West Nile Virus. Many Winnipeg residents took to the street in protest. Now that the Korean rainy season is in full swing the fog trucks have also begun driving the streets. The difference is that Koreans actually like the fog trucks. Most Korean adults tell me that when they were children they chased the fog trucks in an attempt to get lost in the fog. I was reading in Hillary Clinton's autobiography that she too chased fog trucks as a child. I must say I can't see the attraction. The insecticide from these trucks is disgusting and the smell lingers on well after the trucks have left the area. In a recent encounter I had just dropped my high school students off when I heard the truck coming down the street (they are very loud). It was hot out and all four windows of my car were down. The truck passed right beside me before I could get the windows up. I held my breath for as long as I could but eventually I had to take a breath. It took a good 5 minutes before I could even see well enough to drive. The worst encounter I've had with a fog truck was my first year in Daejeon. Me and some friends were walking home from a restaurant when the fog truck drove past us. We didn't hear this one coming. I have never felt so dirty in my entire life.
