It was another beautiful evening ruined by heavy wood smoke pollution in the horrible nightmare city of North St. Paul, MN.
6:00 PM: No wood smoke yet. I noticed no yard waste smoke at all today. The windows were open all over the house. If there was any yard waste smoke, it would have come in. 82 degrees, sunny, and gorgeous at this time.
7:00 PM: No smoke.
8:00 PM: No smoke.
8:45 PM: A very faint trace of wood smoke is in the air. The burner must be a distance from us. The smoke is not strong enough to require the windows to be closed. But I expect it to get heavier soon.
9:00 PM: A very faint trace of wood smoke continues. We are just barely able to smell it inside the house. The windows will need to be closed soon.
9:10 PM: Faint wood smoke. It is getting stronger. Close the windows. I hate the city of North St. Paul! This city is a HORRIBLE place to live!
9:20 PM: Moderate wood smoke. The air is now very smoky. As it almost always is on the weekends.
10:45 PM: Moderate wood smoke continues. Last check of the evening.
Do not buy a house in this city. If you purchase real estate in North St. Paul, you will be making the biggest mistake of your life!
