2:00 AM: Very faint trace of wood smoke remains. Also a very faint trace of sulfur in the air from the industrial section of town. The odor isn't that bad so I opened the windows at this time.
1:30 PM: Faint grass smoke. Someone is burning grass. I wonder how often this happens when I'm not around to notice it.
1:50 PM: Grass smoke continues.
3:30 PM: Faint sulfur odor on the wind.
3:50 PM: A guy in a yard on the south side of 17th Ave. between Helen & Margaret was burning wood and grass (mostly grass) in his yard. He was producing a huge cloud of smoke that could be detected on the wind blocks away. I saw him doing it. He was easily visible from the road. Windy at this time.
Today is a big day for grass burning. Today is also a big day for this blog with 113 visitors so far. The more people who read about the horrors of living in this city the better.
6:00 PM: No wood smoke.
7:15 PM: No wood smoke.
8:15 PM: Faint wood smoke. You knew there had to be wood smoke this evening. Fell asleep after this time.
10:15 PM: No wood smoke.
11:15 PM: No wood smoke.
Midnight: No wood smoke.
Overall a very light day for wood smoke. I fell asleep after 8:15 PM so I don't know how long that wood smoke lasted. The wind usually blows from west to east but was coming out of the southwest today. We wouldn't detect any smoke from burners to the west and possibly to the east of us. It was a little too windy for a recreational fire. But as you can see from the guy on 17th burning wood and grass at 3:50 PM today, safety doesn't concern most recreational polluters.
