Monday 07/05/2010 Air Pollution

1:00 AM: Moderate wood smoke continues. The air is very smoky outside. It is a little warm and humid still. We have our air conditioner on. If it was not warm enough to justify the expense of the air conditioning, we would be sitting in a warm, stuffy house because the air outside is so terribly polluted. You cannot breathe this smoky air and you do not want it in your house. Would you like to lay in bed at night breathing very smoky air when you are trying to sleep?

2:05 AM: Light to moderate wood smoke continues. It will be smoky all night long.

6:00 AM: The wood smoke is gone. The air is mostly fresh.

It is a rainy day today which will hopefully prevent polluters from smoking up our air. July is typically the worst month for wood smoke pollution. If it isn't raining, the air is going to be smoky.

4:30 PM: No wood smoke. Cloudy. Heavy rain earlier today around noon and rain off and on this afternoon.

6:15 PM: No wood smoke. Cloudy. More rain in the forecast. 76 degrees and humid.

There was no wood smoke this evening. There was a light rain after 10 PM that ensured our air would be unpolluted as human beings deserve even if our city council does not agree.
