12:30 AM: Faint wood smoke. Either the wood burning is just starting or a shift in wind direction is bringing the smoke to our home. Smoky air is here. This is why we have to close the windows every night in this city! 70 degrees.
1:30 AM: Extremely strong wood smoke. This is the worst smelling wood smoke I have experienced yet. It is so strong and powerful and packs a pungent ammonia-like punch. Anyone who left their windows open is waking up to a nasty surprise.
2:00 AM: Powerful stench of ammonia-like wood smoke continues.
3:30 AM: Powerful stench of ammonia-like wood smoke continues.
4:30 AM: Air is clearing.
5:00 AM: Faint wood smoke.
Had I not been off this week I would not have been up late enough to witness this air pollution. We cannot live like this. I will be asking my neighbors to call up the city council members to complain. I will make sure everyone in this city knows that the reason they have to breathe smoky air is because of the city council members who know about the problem but have not done a thing about it.
Yes, we are angry about this air pollution problem. We will take our fight to the people and let them decide if the current city council members are worthy of representing the interests of the community.
7:30 PM: Faint wood smoke. Clouds rolling in. Burners probably want to give us a dose of air pollution before the rain comes.
8:40 PM: Moderately heavy wood smoke.
9:00 PM: No wood smoke where I am. Must have been a shift in wind direction. I went out looking for wood smoke at this time. I noticed a faint trace of wood smoke in the vicinities of Shawnee & Chippewa, Reardon & 18th, and Helen & Polar. There was strong wood smoke at Helen & 19th concentrated at the intersection. It did not extend far beyond the intersection. Somebody did have a fire around there. I could not I locate the source of any of the wood smoke this evening. None of the frequent burners were burning when I was out.
10:00 PM: No wood smoke where I am.
10:30 PM: No wood smoke where I am. Bedtime.
