Wednesday 07/27/2011 Air Pollution

Heavy wood smoke this evening. Aren't we fortunate to live in a city that makes us breathe heavily polluted air? Wouldn't you like to live in North St. Paul and breathe smoky air almost every day? We've had smoky air four out of the past five evenings. If it isn't raining or too hot or cool, somebody is burning almost every evening.

4:25 PM: No smoke. 85 degrees, sunny, and very humid. The humidity makes it feel much warmer than it is.

6:00 PM: No smoke.

7:00 PM: No smoke.

8:00 PM: No smoke.

9:15 PM: No smoke.

10:15 PM: Moderate to strong wood smoke. It is extremely smoky now! This intense wood smoke pollution is inhumane! Nobody around us is burning. I don't know who is doing it. Stepping outside will leave me reeking of wood smoke requiring a shower. I'm not going out looking for it either.

When I woke after midnight there was a faint wood smoke in the air. The high temperature reached 89 degrees today with high humidity. I did not think anyone would be having a bonfire when it is this warm and humid. But this is North St. Paul. If someone isn't burning every evening when it isn't raining, that is out of the ordinary. North St. Paul sucks! We hate this damn city because of its heavily polluted air! You do not want to live in a city like this. North St. Paul is hell on earth!
