Every time the spring weather turns to things other than constant rain, the nuts in my neighborhood see fit to start burning all their yard trash. This drives me nuts, and its legal with a permit. What bothers me is not the burning, is the fact that these idiots burn WET foliage and I even caught one guy emptying his grass catcher from his mower onto his fire. What the hell is the matter with you? Burning grass clippings? As if this wasn't bad enough – the air fills with smoke, it gets hazy and so bad that you can't even open the windows or doors in the house or everything will stink inside too. Odd how they only burn when the wind isn't blowing towards THEIR house. One guy across the street burns only at night, leaving me to believe that he hasn't got a permit. Unfortunately, he burns wet stuff too – although he does attempt to encourage it a bit with spurts of gasoline. Why is it that when you drop by with a big bucket of water and throw it on the fire suddenly YOU are the bad guy?
