There was some light wood smoke in the air in the early part of the evening. The frequent burner in the area was burning for his second time this week. In past years, he has burned five times a week all summer long. He is slowing down.
4:30 PM: No smoke where we are. 78 degrees. The frequent burner is burning again. He's not cooking food, not having a bonfire (it is too early for bonfires), he's just burning to produce smoke. He must be one of those nuts who likes the smell of smoke and he makes everyone for blocks around smell it, too.
5:20 PM: No smoke. Fresh air.
6:40 PM: A very faint trace of wood smoke is in the air. It could be from the frequent burner, the wind shifting our direction. It does not smell like his usual smoke. It could be someone else burning, too. There is so much burning in this horrible, shitty city these days.
7:00 PM: Light wood smoke at this time. The windows were closed prior to this time. Another evening stuck in the house like prisoners because of air pollution.
7:30 PM: Light wood smoke continues.
8:00 PM: Faint wood smoke at this time.
9:00 PM: No smoke. Fresh air!
10:00 PM: There is something strange in the air. I don't know what it is. It stinks.
10:45 PM: No smoke. Last check of the evening.
