Today I noticed that some strange smoke or pollutant in the air over Windsor, ON. Anybody know anything about? It seemed to be coming from the south side of the city. | ||

Last night on my drive home from downtown, I noticed a dank odor on Lafayette, all the way to Van Dyke. It was like being in an old, musty basement the entire 3 miles. | ||

http://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/modis/region_map.html These are natural color satellite photos, but they only produce one or two per day. The one above was from earlier today, but I see a newer on is out, from 2:32 PM EDT:  I took the Lake Erie photo and enhanced it with Photoshop to bring out the smoke. | ||

I do not yet know how to get my photos small enough to post, so a link will have to do. I took this photo of the freighter Philip R. Clarke yesterday. The smoke from the fire is visible in the background. My office is in the Cadillac Tower. http://www.boatnerd.com/news/n ewsthumbs/images06/ClarkeFire8 -15-06acw.jpg | ||
