commented about the smelly air.

I, too, lived in League City (in fact, I was a volunteer paramedic
there for over a decade), and nobody commented on it in my presence.

Really? We even had a term for it - we called it "the smell of money"
whenever the wind blew from the north. Your sense of smell must be
remarkably poor.


Maybe it was a virtual league city, existing solely in a computer....
