It was another smoky evening in this horrible city. I had high hopes we might make it through the night without any smoke pollution. But somebody started burning after 11 PM.
5:15 PM: No smoke. Sunny, 83 degrees, and beautiful!
7:05 PM: No smoke yet.
10:40 PM: Still no smoke yet. At this point I thought we might have an evening without any burning. No such luck. Close the windows for bed. We cannot risk leaving the windows open at night because of late night burning.
11:20 PM: Light wood and what smells like grass smoke. Somebody is burning wood and what may be grass.
You can be assured of smoky air almost every nice evening in North St. Paul, MN. It has been like this for years and the damn idiots on the city council are not going to put a stop to it any time soon. North St. Paul sucks!
