The ultimate BBQ

Air quality index over 200 here today. Going to be in the 90s temp-wise. Smells like every house in the neighborhood is having a barbecue party.

I had a 50mi ride planned for today, my 10th anniversary of my transplant. Alas, I’m putting it off until tomorrow because of Canadian fires.

Wow. Hard to believe it's been 10 years. Wishing you many more.

Oh, and good move on postponing the bike ride.....

The monitor in Pleasant Prairie, WI, which is about halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee, is reading 446.

Ours is climbing, now at 225.

Just ran over to the library and the grocery store. Wasn't outside but 10 minutes total but can feel the burning in my throat.

I think I know why.

549, no signs of letting up.

@dolmansaxlil - how bad is it up by you?
