Tonight was smoky as hell. It was so smoky it is inexplicable how any city council can subject us to air pollution so high. Our city council members are demons from hell!
If you buy a home in North St. Paul, MN, it will be the biggest mistake you ever make. Moving to this polluted nightmare was the biggest mistake we ever made. A foreclosure may look cheap, and there are plenty around, but you are not considering the hidden costs. You should have seen our eyes pop out of our heads when we got our latest electricity bill! We cannot open the windows most nights because the air is so smoky. We either have to suffer inside a warm, stuffy house or run the air conditioner and pay the price. We pay dearly for living in this terrible town. We are prisoners in our own home because the smoky air forces us inside with the windows closed. We pay to run the air conditioner. And property taxes around here are not cheap! Over $2,000 a year for the pleasure of breathing smoky air!
North St. Paul sucks! Terrible place to live! Beware of this city!
5:30 PM: No wood smoke. 90 degrees and sunny. Will the air be smoky tonight with the high temperature? Temperatures in the 90s usually discourage recreational burning.
6:45: Faint to light wood smoke. It smells like somebody is grilling food with wood. Wood smoke is in the air all the same. Smoky air is smoky air.
7:30 PM: Light wood smoke. It has gotten stronger.

11:30 PM: Strong wood smoke! The air pollution is extremely heavy! This air is not fit for human consumption! Why the hell do we have to live like this, Jan Walczak? Last check of the evening. The air was mostly clear when I woke at 4 AM.
All I want is out of this horrible polluted nightmare city. When the housing market recovers......
