Good morning, Northern Michigan. And those of you
listening from elsewhere, this is your cup of
Traverse City for the 04/20/2026.
I'm Mike, and I do have my coffee.
And for those of you that, know what
this means, it's also 04:20.
If you know, you know.
So, this week, there's an event,
happening in Traverse City, kind of all over
Traverse City.
The Northern Michigan
startup week,
starts today, goes through Friday, and it's at
various locations
around Traverse City,
centered around, I think, the college and,
yeah, NMC Innovation
Center,
Hagerty Center,
Milliken Auditorium.
Yeah. Just a whole bunch of, places around
town.
I'll have a link to the story over
on nine and ten, and that links out
to the Startup Week website that'll tell you
all about it.
Some of them, you have to RSVP.
Some of them,
you know, I I don't know the whole
deal, but, sounds interesting.
And the way they describe it in the
story is,
it's a week long event to bring together
entrepreneurs, small business owners, and remote workers from
across the region.
Events include workshops, panel discussions, and networking opportunities
hosted at multiple locations around Traverse City.
Organizers
say the goal is to support local innovation
and strengthen the region's growing start up and
small business community.
So, yeah, very,
very good. It started back in 2013
as as kind of a weekend thing,
and it's now expanded to a full week.
And, yeah, looks looks like it might be
interesting. I might have to go partake in
something if I get over this airplane crud
from coming back from Texas.
By the way, the weather down there was
not a whole lot better than up here.
Well, first couple days I was there, it
was 80 degrees and,
then it then it got into the fifties.
So,
you know, kind of the same
kind of the same weather as what we
had up here.
Speaking of weather,
before my voice goes away completely,
sunny with a high near 45 today.
Calm wind becoming west around five miles per
hour this afternoon. Tonight, increasing clouds with a
low around 36.
South wind, five to 10 miles per hour.
Thursday or Thursday. Tuesday,
partly sunny,
gradually becoming
mostly sunny.
I don't know why they put that in
there.
With a high near 61.
Southwest wind five to 10 miles per hour
becoming west this afternoon.
And
okay. So now now that we got the
weather out, I wanna
ask you, have you heard
or has anybody seen any trouble on Cass
Road?
Somebody was saying that there was a bridge
out on Cass Road now,
but I haven't seen hiding or hair of
it anywhere else. So
it's probably fake news. But, if anybody's heard
anything or or experienced anything, let me know.
You can
email me mike@mikedell.com.
And, I'd be I'd be interested to know,
if if there is really something going on
on Cass Road,
rather than me just driving over there.
Anyway, catch me tomorrow.
