There was no wood smoke pollution this evening. The air was fresh. Wonderful fresh air! How rare it is to have fresh air in North St. Paul. No burning sinuses. No irritated eyes. No sore throat. No shortness of breath. No smoky clothes or smoky house. Only wonderful unpolluted air!
The temperature at 7 PM was 49 degrees. We had some light rain by 8 PM. No possibility of bonfires tonight.
Every evening without smoky air is cause for celebration in North St. Paul. There are so few evenings like that. If it isn't raining, isn't too windy, is above 65 degrees and below 90 degrees, the air will be smoky nearly 100% of the time during the evening. If the weather is nice, you can be guaranteed smoky air.
Living in North St. Paul is like living in a sausage factory smokehouse. That is not an exaggeration.
