Sunday 08/22/2010 Air Pollution

It was another miracle. There was no wood smoke this evening. I cannot remember when we have had an entire weekend without wood and grass smoke without rain preventing burning. This city is a nice place to live when the air is not smoky. Life is so much better when you can breathe! It was a warm day, but not too warm to prevent evening burning. The temperature at 5:30 PM was 88 degrees. It was humid. The temperature at 9:00 PM was 82 degrees with a relative humidity level of about 70% in the Twin Cities. The air was not fresh all evening. By 10 PM or about there was a very faint trace of something in the air which continued after midnight. I do not know what it was other than it did not smell like smoke. It was a nice smoke-free weekend.
