There was no wood smoke this evening. Fresh air all night. Not trace of anything was in it. I do not think it rained as forecast. Living in North St. Paul is much more enjoyable when the air isn't smoky. People who don't have to breathe smoky air almost every day like we do will not understand how much of a negative impact it has on the quality of one's life.
