Sunday 09/04/2011 Air Pollution

It was another smoky Sunday.  Somebody is always burning in North St. Paul.  You can't even enjoy a Sunday without smoky air in this horrible city.  A beautiful cool and breezy Sunday was ruined by wood smoke.  This is how you will live if you make the mistake of buying a home in North St. Paul, MN.

11:33 AM:  Very faint grass smoke coming in the windows.  It was gone after a few minutes.

4:00 PM:  Light wood smoke coming and going.  I went out and found the asshole frequent burner is burning again this Sunday.  He is producing huge clouds of smoke.  We are a distance away from him and are catching very little of it.  I feel sorry for the people who live next to him.  Close the windows!  Sunny and breezy at this time.  I forgot to write down the temperature.  It was about 70 degrees.

4:45 PM:  Very faint to faint wood smoke varying with the breeze.

6:00 PM:  No smoke here for a while.  I went out and saw that the frequent burner was still burning, producing huge clouds of smoke.  None of it is making its way down here. 

6:15 PM:  Light wood smoke coming and going.

6:30 PM:  No smoke.

7:32 PM:  Faint wood smoke varying with the breeze.

7:45 PM:  Faint wood smoke continues.

9:30 PM:  Very faint wood smoke.  This makes over 5 hours of smoky air coming and going this Sunday evening.  Do you want smoky air for 5 hours on a Sunday?

10:00 PM:  Light wood smoke, very stinky.  The smell of this smoke is much different than that produced by the frequent burner.  Another burner has joined in on the air pollution party it seems.  61 degrees.

10:45 PM:  Light stinky wood smoke continues.  No chance of opening the windows before bed.  North St. Paul sucks.
