Happy 4th of July....If there is such a thing as happiness in a city with daily air pollution so bad it burns your sinuses, gives you headaches, makes it difficult to breathe, and makes you feel sick.
5:00 AM: Nobody burning right now. Very faint burnt wood or smoky odor lingers in the air. It isn't that bad, but it isn't fresh air like we deserve as humans. Open windows.
9:00 AM: Very faint burnt wood or smoky odor lingers in the air. It isn't fresh air.
7:00 PM: Light to moderate wood smoke.
8:30 PM: Light to moderate wood smoke.
9:30 PM: Light to moderate wood smoke.
10:30 PM: Air is polluted. Smells more like gunpowder than wood smoke. Gunpowder smoke is less of an annoyance than wood smoke and reminds me of fireworks. I still wouldn't want to smell it every day.
11:30 PM: Light to moderate wood smoke. Air still smells like gunpowder, but smells more like wood smoke.
Another smoky evening in North St. Paul, MN. The air is polluted each and every evening. This is a horrible way to live.
