    Ahhh, yes. Wood burning season is upon us and soon Spokane Regional Air will be knocking on my door.

    Every year my cranky neighbor, the one with 10 junker cars, hundreds of old tires, two broken down campers and assorted junk stacked all over his property, calls to complain that I am burning wood. And EVERY year SRA comes knocking to tell me that they have a complaint and that they MUST investigate. And EVERY year, they find the complaint without warrant but not before threatening me with fines for noncompliance.

    This year, when they come a knockin’ I’m not answering the door.
