What to Watch Today
- Bridge lifts & horn salutes: listen for the three-long, two-short Ambassador Salute when ships greet the bridge.

I hope Deborah is okay. 😷 Mask needed if one goes outside.???

My friend in Northern MN is having all her family up for their annual camping and she said the haze rolled in this morning and they can smell it.

Take care Deborah 🤗
