Tuesday 03/23/2010 Air Pollution

2:00 AM: Moderately strong horrible smelling smoke continues. Smoky as hell. Smoky as North St. Paul. North St. Paul is hell.

6:00 AM: Light to moderate wood smoke at this time. I didn't stick my head out the door more than a couple of seconds to grab the paper. The air in the city of North St. Paul is horribly polluted!

7:00 AM: Light to moderate wood and some other type of smoke continues. The smoke smells like burning wood and gunpowder

I don't know what the hell is being burned in North St. Paul at 7:00 AM, but this has got to stop!

4:30 PM: No wood smoke. 60 degrees and sunny. A very nice spring day. Will the air be smoky tonight?

6:00 PM: No wood smoke. Fresh air!

7:30 PM: No wood smoke. The air is not fresh. There is something in it. I cannot say what it is.

8:30 PM: No wood smoke detected. A trace of some type of smoke is in the air. It could be a distant burner or vehicle exhaust fumes.

10:00 PM: No wood smoke. Bed time.

Midnight: No wood smoke. This was the final check on the way back to bed.

We made it an evening without wood smoke in the city of North St. Paul, Minnesota!
