The Great Lakes in November.

18 Foot Waves.

The crew of the Edmund Fitzgerald faced 25 foot waves. Shipping on the Great Lakes stops this time of year because of that event.


The Comments are worth reading, the vid has radio traffic from that day. I’ve been on the shore of Superior during a nasty storm, I’ve been on the beach in a gale in Ireland. They looked exactly the same.

Happy Thanksgiving

It’s a day of family, warmth, and home. And the meal that takes all day to cook and is so rewarding at the end.

So let’s celebrate this uniquely AMERICAN holiday – because even our 4th of July isn’t so special – as anyone who has ever been in Paris on July 14th can tell you.

If you have time, share a story of a crazy Thanksgiving, or of travel to get there. Of what you are most thankful for today.

Me?  I’m grateful for the day of rain we got yesterday.  I saw stars in the sky for the first time in a week.

And because it wouldn’t be me without the hint of smart-ass, I’m grateful my sister Patricia loves to cook. Because Football Savant Offspring thinks I can’t get a turkey right to save my life.

Wishing the best to you and yours on this wonderful day.

It’s back.
