Wednesday 09/29/2010 Air Pollution

More wood and leaf smoke this evening. Smoky, polluted air is a way of life in this town.

5:05 PM: Light smoke from burning leaves. Smoky air once again. 74 degrees, sunny, and beautiful except for the smoke pollution.

5:10 PM: Light wood smoke this time. I went out and found out who was burning. It is a frequent burner. The idiots on the city council give people the right to burn wood 7 days a week. That is why the air is always smoky! There are hundreds of homes around here and on any evening some of them will be burning.

6:00 PM: Light wood smoke continues. I hate this city.

6:40 PM: Faint wood smoke at this time.

8:30 PM: Very faint to faint wood smoke now. The air has been smoky three hours already.

10:00 PM: The air is not fresh, but I can smell no wood smoke in it.

There was no more smoke for the rest of the night.

North St. Paul sucks!
