High Waves Mean High Danger - A Real Story w/ Video

Earlier I wrote about the high winds and such around here. This YT video was caught on the Black Rocks on the shore of Lake Superior near Marquette, Michigan about 50 miles from my home. This young man was pulled out, but there is 'rumor' that another couple was swept off the rocks in the same area... Sign in to see full entry.

Exciting Times With The Weather

We have had storm that just keeps swirling overhead and I am reading where Lake Superior is having 25 FOOT tall waves due to the high winds. During the night, I know I woke up several times with my Internet cable box beeping that it had lost power and was beginning to run on its battery backup. It's... Sign in to see full entry.

Go West Young Man!

I had to make a trip to Germfask, a (very) small town twenty five miles to the west and south of me to see a man about a story I am working on for publication next spring. I really enjoyed my visit with him and I just know that I will be back to talk with him again. Besides the story and other... Sign in to see full entry.

There's A Storm A-Brewin'!

I was working on cleaning up some notes when I happened to take a break to walk the dogs out for a few minutes. A look toward the western sky drove home the fact that we have a big thunderstorm rolling in real quick. Off in the distance, I could hear the faint roll of thunder and I know it will be...

Busy Days Lead To A More Productive Winter

I had to make a run to the old 'homestead' of the past three years to retrieve another huge load of 'trivial' things not yet gathered. I think I just need to make one more trip, this time with a pick up and a 16' covered trailer a friend of mine said he would lend me. I have some furniture I kept... Sign in to see full entry.

The Audio Speaks For Itself

I had mentioned that I was getting "The Totally Unnecessary Death of Amanda Dawn" developed into an audio book. While we have some 'clean up work' to do on the files, scrubbing out some mic noise in the opening of a couple segments and a couple other issues, I love this woman's rendition of my...

Fixing Up The Cut

I've been working on a number of things, first and foremost, translating notes of an interview I did with a DNR (Department of Natural Resources) officer about The Cut River Dam over the 4.1 mile long Cut River into Lake Michigan. The area is beautiful as its Sugar Maple trees are coming into their... Sign in to see full entry.

A Treasure Found

I went looking for something and found something that I thought had been lost forever. At a time in my life when I was losing faith and losing hope of getting the surgery I needed, my wife wrote the following on a sheet of paper and put it on my desk. I've kept it there ever since... until it got... Sign in to see full entry.

I Really Wish...

I spent some time wandering through the 'feed' over on FB and then came here and wandered through a number of posts made my my fellow 'Blog-ites" and I see a lot of heart ache out there. I've made a few comments here and there, but if it was possible, I'd give a number of you the long hug you... Sign in to see full entry.
