Thursday 09/03/2009 Air Pollution

Another smoky evening.

7:00 PM: No wood smoke. 73 degrees, sunny, gorgeous!

7:30 PM: No wood smoke. I dozed off a few minutes later.

9:10 PM: Faint wood smoke for a few seconds. I woke up a few minutes prior.

9:35 PM: Light wood and grass smoke. Not too strong. I am pretty sure I know who is doing it. I didn't want to get dressed and go out to verify. It fits the pattern. First the wood starts, then a short while later the grass burning starts, followed by more wood.

10:00 PM: Light wood smoke.

10:25 PM: Light to moderate wood smoke. It has gotten smokier.

11:05 PM: No wood smoke that I can tell. Faint chemical odor. If there is any wood smoke, it is overpowered by the chemical smell.

11:45 PM: Moderate to strong wood smoke. Very smoky outside. The burner is within a couple blocks for the smoke to be that strong.

The air was smoky with the stench of smoldering wood when I got up around 5 AM.
