Speaker 0: 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.
