If only every day was race day. Living on the good side of Lake Michigan in Grand Haven, MI. And whenever I spot a Bogart movie on TV while channel surfing, I am in for the night.

It was a good vacation - until. We took the ferry home from Milwaukee to Muskegon early this morning. It as a very rough ride. The crew was busy handing out a lot of bags to passengers. Now sitting in an ER with wife after she got sick, nauseous and passed out after arriving home. Other than that….

Air Quality Alert issued July 31 at 12:25PM EDT by NWS Grand Rapids MI
Additional Details Here.
Air Quality Advisory through Saturday August 2nd... The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has issued an Air Quality Advisory for elevated levels of fine particulate (PM2.5) across the state of Michigan. Pollutants across the state are expected to be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG, Orange AQI) range with some locations reaching the Unhealthy (Red AQI) range. The Air Quality Advisory includes all Michigan counties. Smoke from Canadian wildfires remains over the state Thursday, with PM2.5 concentrations ranging from USG to Unhealthy. Some locations, mostly in the Lower Peninsula, may experience improvements in air quality from late Thursday into Friday, however, that is expected to be short-lived as additional smoke plumes drop into the region. High pressure settling overhead will limit dispersion and keep smoke at the surface through the end of the week. This sustains the threat of increased PM2.5 and readings in the USG range will continue through Saturday, with some locations reaching the Unhealthy range. It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially those with heart disease and respiratory diseases like asthma. Monitor for symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, dizziness, or burning in nose, throat, and eyes. Reduce or eliminate activities that contribute to air pollution, such as: outdoor burning, use of residential wood burning devices. Tips for households: Keep windows closed overnight to prevent smoke from getting indoors and, if possible, run central air conditioning with MERV-13 or higher rated filters. For up-to-date air quality data for Michigan visit the MiAir site: https://air-egle.hub.arcgis.com/ For up-to-date air quality data nationally visit EPAs Air Now site: https://www.airnow.gov/ For further health information, please see MDHHS Wildfire Smoke and Your Health site: https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/safety-injury-prev/environmental-health/ your-health-and-wildfire-smoke
