Thursday 08/20/2009 Air Pollution

5:00 PM: No wood smoke. Light rain at this time. Cool, 65 degrees. It rained intermittently most of the day.

6:15 PM: No wood smoke. Still raining. Pouring rain at this time. We will likely have another cool summer evening without wood smoke. It is gloomy and damp. I will gladly take the gloom and rain over smoky air. We may even sleep with the windows open tonight. I opened the windows before bed last night and we woke up to a nice cool house in the morning. Sleeping with the windows open in this city is impossible most of the time.

No wood smoke this evening. Nothing in the air at all. Intermittent rain most of the evening made conditions impossible for bonfires. We had wonderfully fresh air all night long!
