Weather Report

You know those summer mornings when it's bright and cool, but you can feel the noon heat coming behind the coolness? This is not one. At 8:30 it was hot and humid and sticky and awful. The air was not breathing quality air, but the kind of air you used to get in Detroit in the summer, when the city was full of car plants making production. Industrial quality air. An hour later, it was slightly worse.

Patrick says we are getting California wildfire smoke. So that's the particulate matter and the grayish haze. In Detroit, it was the plants making cars and good jobs and money for most everyone. Now it's the west burning down.
