It was a beautiful spring evening ruined by yard waste burning. Every damn day in this horrible city people are burning. Every day the air is smoky when the weather is nice.
5:00 PM: No smoke. Sunny, 66 degrees, beautiful!
6:15 PM: No smoke. There is a home burning yard waste in the area. None of the smoke is making it down here.
7:15 PM: No smoke.
7:44 PM: Light to moderate smoke from burning grass. Close the windows!
7:54 PM: Light to moderate wood and waste smoke. I can't say what all is being burned. It reeks!
8:45 PM: Faint yard waste smoke continues. Why can't these asshole yard waste burners hurry up and get their burning done quickly so we can open our windows again? I can see smoke rising from a second house in the area off in the distance. The smoke is not coming our direction from either house. There must be a third burner we are getting our smoke from. There are two or more residents in the area burning at this time.
9:45 PM: Light to moderate wood and waste smoke being burned. It stinks!
11:00 PM: No smoke but the air is not fresh.
None of our neighbors around us burn. If the smoke is this heavy here, I shudder to think of how heavy it must be living next door to it.
North St. Paul sucks!
