We have smoke from burning paper early.
1:15 PM: A faint burning paper smell is in the air. It varies with the breeze. It did not last long.
3:50 PM: A faint burning paper smell is again in the air. It smells like burning paper. I believe that is what it is. It does not smell like wood. It could be some jackass burning waste. People burn a lot more of everything in this town than they used to because of the city's recreational burning ordinance.
4:00 PM: Light paper smoke is in the air. I do not know what else it could be other than paper. It is stronger now than before.
4:10 PM: Faint burning paper smell.
5:10 PM: A very faint burning paper smell lingers in the air. 81 degrees.
6:00 PM: A very faint trace of smoke of some type is still in the air. It could be paper smoke.
7:45 PM: Very faint to faint wood smoke. Somebody upwind is burning wood.
8:15 PM: A very faint trace of what could be paper smoke remains in the air.
9:00 PM: Fresh air. There is no trace of anything in it. Will it last? It is 75 degrees at this time. It is tempting to shut off the air conditioning and open the windows tonight. But we know all too well that wood smoke is present almost every night. The air conditioning will stay on tonight.
It is a beautiful, cool evening. I spent some time outside enjoying the little fresh air we get in this nightmare town.
9:30 PM: Light wood smoke. I HATE THIS ******* CITY!
10:00 PM: Light to moderate wood smoke. It has gotten smokier the past half hour. It is 73 degrees measured at North High School. This would be a perfect night to turn off the air conditioning BUT WE CAN'T BECAUSE THE AIR IS SO DAMN SMOKY!
11:00 PM: Light to moderate wood smoke.
Midnight: Very faint to faint wood smoke.
