I am not going to be one of those neighbors

who goes to the people across from me and yells at them, and have never contacted the authorities for violation of town code.

I simply need to vent, and ask what type of morons have a bond fire when we are already in the midst of an air quality alert, due to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires drifting our way?

Like Al Gore once said, "The Death of Common Sense," and I'd add the death of consideration of others as well.

..thirty feet away and making damn sure that the wind is blowing toward the same house.
In the past few weeks, there's been 2 drag down fights, regarding burning leaves and such.
The offenders are dumb as a ton load of bricks.. "I didn't think anybody would mind"
Yeah.. you F*cking asshole..people love to smell the stench of rotten wood and your dog's shit.
I'm gonna go eat chocolate to calm down...lots of chocolate...any reason will do..

The ones doing this across from me are burning it right next to a barn they're restoring. 🙄

Florida it can be dangerous too. Brazilian pepper releases a similar toxin to poison ivy when burned.
