Watched the second half. Looked like England was going to make it. Went to make a sandwich. Came back and WTF? Had to watch the reruns.

I hear you can't breath the air in Toronto right now.

good mornin peeps'n lurkers


thankfully Toronto is far enough away that breathing is not an issue for me..

that rain overnight really switched things up for us out this way.. currently 70F (75F with the humidex) YAY.. and the wind is 8-12 mph so NICE.. chance of rain later today but other than that an absolute awesome day..

anywho.. got stuff ta do so.. hope everyone enjoys their day

Went to get the paper this morning. Looked foggy out. Nope, wild fire smoke from the great white north.
Thanks Canada.

Stopped in for a few cold ones .... the smoke is pretty bad here in Michigan.

Wow saw the News this morning how bad the Smoke was in some areas it is unreal.. Very thick glad I'm way South..

it's not only Canadian fires.. USA today news.. july 16, 2026 (today) "A new heat wave will bring another round of scorching temperatures as several fires in the West continue to grow in what’s already been a deadly fire season. The Babylon fire burning in Utah now covers 100,000 acres and the Aspen Acres fire in Colorado is nearing that size."

so don't be blaming Canada for all your smoke issues..

also from USA today news (today, july 16th)... "as wildfires in parts of northern Minnesota..causing yellow skies and hazy sunsets as "unprecedented" fires forced a remote campground to evacuate visitors.

The effects of the smoke drifting across parts of the United States are expected to intensify on July 16, including in southern New England, most of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, lower Michigan and northern Ohio, according to AccuWeather meteorologists. Air quality alerts are blanketing several states as particulates from smoke make the air unhealthy to breathe, especially for sensitive groups, but for all residents in heavily impacted areas."

it seems it's only the US news outlets that are blaming Canada for all the smoke..

oddly enough, I'm in canada and I'm not seeing any problems NOR are there any reports or alerts been posted yet in my area..


anywho.. I'm out.. have a good one..

you can thank Minnesota for your bad air and fog Mo..

Seems my feeble attempt at sarcasm has drilled into a nerve.

sadly.. it did..

well.. anudder day comin to a close.. it's sooo quiet in here.. wow.. mind blowing.. is this the apocalypse? lol

hope everyone had a good day and is enjoying the evening

A country doesn't cause wildfires. It is usually Mother Nature (lighting, extra dry weather) or a careless camper that didn't put out their campfire.

there are wild fires in Canada ??? Not in my area for sure ....but further north west....its all natural....not like we Canadians are too hot to handle .....well some of us are....for sure !!!

Takes a few shots and heads on out ....

Morning all~~ just strolling through to see what was happening...

Glad the smoke is not near those in Canada that are in here...

Humm well guess I will head to the kitchen to see what I'm going to rustle up for breakfast...

yep ....the smokey haze is clearing out as the rain comes down.... all in all ....pretty good start to the weekend...
