  • Before you light that trash, think about the children

    Dr Barbara Gray|May 7, 2009

    The weather is finally to the point where we can open our windows and let some much needed fresh air into our homes without having to put on sweaters or turn the heat up higher, but wait what in the world is that awful smell?
