A lovely day to hang out on our deck, open the windows, spark up our gas grill instead unfortunately for us {the law &} the neighbours right to smoke what must be an entire side of beef, (the smoke has been going on for hours ) their right to smoked meat, supersedes our need & right to a smoke-free environment, on our deck, in the garden and forbids us to have our windows open.
All bloody day since 1 in the afternoon this blasted smoke has been spewing.
Effective year 1979
An update or enforcement may be in order because the 7 + hour smoker had to exceed the regulations of air pollution.

All bloody day since 1 in the afternoon this blasted smoke has been spewing.
On the other hand we don't have a right to a (smoke free) gas grill on our roofless deck,
News to us & now alerted by city dollars as they rolled up the hill in a Fire red truck, the leader howling at my friend to carry the now hot large grill down the stairs because it's against the law in Boston {really how safe is that carry a hot grill downstairs what a jerk}
We however have to suffer through the smoking of their meat for 6 long hours,

Much like the diesel fumes that spewed all spring and early summer for some DYI construction. Can we call this a residential area or a smoke pit for those within the law...
