Mickey Lolich, Detroit Tigers 1968 World Series hero, dies at 85. 3 complete game victories in the series. Grew up with the Tigers and Denny McClain living on one street over in a middle class neighborhood; Al Kaline embarrassed by a $100,00 salary. Different time.

I think I figured out why Trump wants Greenland. In Nuuk, the high temp during the past week ranged from 41 to 48 much warmer than DC. Better for tanning, but I am not sure one could get that orangey glow.

“if the government's concern is the operation of these facilities, allowing the ongoing operation of the 44 turbines, while prohibiting the repair of the existing turbines and the completion of the 18 additional turbines is irrational.” #windenergy #windpower www.eenews.net/articles/jud...

As Michele Adams makes clear in The Containment, Supreme Court did not meet MLK on our shared destiny and freedom. Grew up attending Birmingham & Bloomfield Hills schools during the case. Surprisingly my life was not animated by its implication for my own cross-district busing. #booksky #LawSky

Fittingly on MLK day I finished The Containment (Michele Adams) about the struggle to integrate Detroit MI area schools and the Supreme Court’s 1974 turning back desegregation in the North. Deep in the legal weeds but worth the journey. #booksky #LawSky

New to all this so I trust you will be kind? Although I very rarely dip my eyes and mind into dystopian literature, I cannot sing the praises more for Celeste Ng's "Our Missing Hearts" and Gary Shteyngart's "Vera or Faith". They are under-appreciated gems of any genre. #booksky
