Lots of smoke in Michigan.

Plenty of dispensary stores in Michigan. LOL.

Haze yesterday, today, and forecast for tomorrow. None in forecast after that, but it has been not that noticeable in the greater Detroit area. Maybe in western Michigan near the Indiana state line, but not here.

I live just south of Detroit and it just appears to look like an overcast day. If you have any concerns with air quality just wear a mask (we should be used to that by now). I have not experienced any difficulty breathing or smelled smoke and worked outside in the yard for five hours yesterday. No problems.

If we lived our lives in accordance to how the news wants to scare you and worry you, about every bloody thing that comes along, we'd never set foot outside.

Go to the meet and have fun and don't fret over it

My post was just one of curiosity.....Living here in Florida, forest fires and "controlled burns" are usually a yearly thing around here....here in North Florida we just had a few controlled burns for at least a week and half or two along with ash and prior to about the last month of steady rain storms, we had a couple of lightening induced fires SO no big deal for me!!!! Almost makes it just like home, really!!!

I'm not that concerned about it. Mostly just curious. It can't be worse than all the farm chemicals I breath here in the midwest.
