Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, Whitefish Point, MI. 2-foot rolling waves, cloudy sky, and a crowd on hand for the 50th anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald's sinking.

This is how I learn that one of your hobbies is not going to lighthouses/museums/museum ships around the Great Lakes?
Museums around Michigan and Wisconsin that I’ve visited. Gordon Lightfoot is in heavy rotation at each one that has a gift shop.

Almost completely overlapping Venn diagram labeled "Did you see how much these so-called 'non-profit' CEOs make?", "I can't believe how much he gets paid for playing a children's game," and "This proposal would destroy our neighborhood's character."

We don’t do Halloween costumes for the bunnies, but we do put them in outfits for our Christmas card photos and I will remember this one until I die

Pulling together my costume. This year I’m going as the Wicker (Park) Man.
A checked collared shirt, jeans, a discreetly marked box of “edibles”, and a copy of Separation Sunday by The Hold Steady on vinyl.

She was one of the fan-submitted photos the Wings used as background images for the 2000 playoff tickets.
Kristen Bell hugging the Stanley Cup in a signed Yzerman jersey in a black and white image for Round 1 Game 1 of the 2000 Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Kings. Her acting resume at the time consisted of Uncredited Teenage Girl in “Polish Wedding,” and she was still going by “Annie,” so this was not the Wings trying to highlight a famous person.

Deep Lake Michigan on a clear day
On top of Pyramid Point looking across the Manitou Passage at North Manitou Island in the distance. A lighthouse is built on a platform over a shoal. The sand on top of the 200-ish foot bluff gives way to the water below, which goes from aquamarine to a pure blue as the depth increases.

There is a massive difference between the generic Jolly Roger skull and crossbones and what is specifically an SS totenkopf, and I expect a Marine to know that. I’m a midwestern liberal, but if you have a passing interest in WW2 history, you’re gonna know what that is.
Basic skull and crossbones. Yar, pirates, or poison, or poison pirates. SS totenkopf. Nazis and only Nazis.

This guy has 10 followers. I have more than $10 in Canadian coins in my drawer. Buddy, I was talking shit about Preston Manning and Mike Harris 30 years ago, because I grew up across the river from Canada’s 15th biggest metro. Farther away, people care less. It’s that simple.
WBB Funny how Americans know nothing about the Fascist's in government across Canada and how Canadians know so much about the fascists in government across the United States. Go figure.

It’s ok. If you live near a Great Lake, you can get into freighters.

Good morning, Chicago. Another perfect morning for kidnappers and their enablers to get the hell out of here.

So unranked USC has scheduled a game against secretly ranked USC? Which also means that USC has guaranteed itself another loss?
This game is a resume builder for USC and Michigan: With both teams sitting at 4-1 heading into this game, the winner will have an inside track to make a strong push toward a CFP berth. The Trojans have three ranked opponents remaining on the schedule (Michigan, Notre Dame and USC), while the Wolverines have just one (Ohio State). A win by USC likely vaults Lincoln Riley's squad back into the AP Top 25 poll, while a loss will make it an uphill climb to get into the CFP. As for Michigan, this would be a huge win after a setback last month against Oklahoma on the road.
