With the reduction in sales to the asian polluters, maybe there will be a significant drop in temperatures this spring and summer. clay > On Feb 7, 2020, at 6:15 AM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > Today on my way to work, there was a significant reduction in the number of > trucks pulling shipping containers.
