There was no wood smoke this evening. Amazing. That doesn't mean that people weren't burning wood in the city, just that I didn't smell any wood smoke where I live. I was surprised given the mild temperature of 70 degrees at 7 PM. It was a gorgeous evening unspoiled by the unnecessary pollution created by the recreational burning of wood.
Since this is a holiday weekend, I anticipate that the fresh air will not last long. As I mentioned the other day, I noticed three fire pits stocked with wood and branches ready to be torched. Unless those people are leaving town for the weekend, they will probably be burning.
