5:00 PM: No wood smoke. Cloudy gray sky, 70 degrees. It looks like it may rain, but the weather forecasters say there will not be any.
8:30 PM: No wood smoke. I left the city for a while. On my way back I drove down a few roads and did not encounter wood smoke anywhere.
11:00 PM: Still no wood smoke. Only wonderful fresh air! Often there is a faint something in the air when I can't detect wood smoke, but there is nothing now. You take a deep breath and smell nothing.
Midnight: No wood smoke. We left the windows open when we went to bed. It's nice to be able to go to bed with the windows open and wake up to a house that isn't stuffy and stale. That does not happen often.
This was the second evening in a row without wood smoke. Has the wood smoke tapered off for the season or have the cloudy skies discouraged recreational bonfires? We should have fresh air every day of the week. Not in this town. When we get fresh air in the evening we savor it. You never know when someone will start burning. Recreational air polluters have more rights than we do.
