My goal is to draw attention to this issue of daily wood smoke. So the more people who know about life in North St. Paul, MN, the better.

On a sour note, about a dozen people thought they would leave funny comments like, "I love the smell of a smoldering pile of leaves", and, "you're crazy if you don't love the smell of burning wood." I highly doubt you enjoy the smell of burning leaves. Really. This is what happens on the internet. People act in a way they would never act in real life. People also leave threats, sometimes. I deleted comments so fast I didn't read all of them. Don't threaten me, please. I don't want any harm to come to me or anyone else. That isn't the purpose of this blog. I am drawing attention to the nuisance of wood smoke and casting a light on those who are recreationally polluting the air we all must breathe. I am also in contact with others who feel the same way.

If you love the smell of burning wood so much, give me your address and I will buy your neighbors enough wood to last all summer long. Then we'll see how much you love wood smoke when every room in your house smells like it. I won't buy you the wood, because you would sit upwind and the smoke would blow away from you. I will buy your neighbors upwind some wood so it blows right at your house.

In fact, I have been considering this very thing for North St. Paul. If I have to breathe smoky air every day, then everybody should (hundreds of us already do). Stay tuned for more.
