Friday 07/30/2010 Air Pollution

12:40 AM: A very faint trace of smoke lingers in the air. The air is not fresh.

3:00 AM: The air is mostly fresh.

Scattered rain is in the forecast for this evening. Will our air be smoky?

5:30 PM: No smoke yet. The ground is wet. It just rained lightly. 72 degrees.

6:25 PM: Faint wood smoke at this time. It is already smoky. We will have to leave the windows closed and the air conditioning on with a temperature of 72 degrees. I wish I could convey to you readers just how horrible North St. Paul, MN, is. Do you want to breathe smoky air inside your home at 6:30 PM on a Friday evening? We don't. I do not think anybody would.

8:30 PM: I cannot smell any wood smoke, but I smell some food grilling.

9:35 PM: No smoke.

10:15 PM: Very faint wood smoke.

11:00 PM: No smoke.

Midnight: No smoke.

It was not too bad for a Friday.
