But that's a big improvement over June and July, when Maryland had a total of 17 Code Orange days and four days of Code Red, when people are warned to stay indoors. In June, Maryland experienced its most polluted air in five years.

    Weeks after the weird June 29 windstorm that swept the Mid-Atlantic, I can't shake the feeling of being in an episode of "The Twilight Zone," the 1960s TV series that warned of living selfishly. A dash of Rod Serling spiking a large dollop of Catholic guilt.
