Fire and the long red line
Last night I was headed home from my day job, which is really a night job, when I saw a thick column of black smoke rising over the Flat Road. So instead of dropping by the neighbors’ to watch the Stanley Cup final and share the nice cold bottles of Labatt’s I had nestling there […]
This is Michigan. Think Cars. Also trucks, because, hey, this is northern Michigan.
June 11, 2009
In Michigan, we are more interested in cars than the average person in, say, Washington D.C. New cars, customized cars, restored cars, beloved clunkers . . . and don’t get me started on our trucks. We love our trucks. Do not mess with our trucks. So it is fitting that there should be a Collector […]
Marketing Up North
June 11, 2009

Like a lot of other people up here, Bob has another […]

Katherine’s Bleeding Heart
June 10, 2009
Katherine sent me a bleeding heart. Talk about carrying coals to Newcastle. She writes: It’s been so chilly I am suprised there have been any flowers. This was taken on one of the only days that was warm and sunny which was, I think, about a week ago. I didn’t even know bleeding hearts came […]
Daytrips in northern Michigan: Bier Gallery
June 8, 2009
Recently I had to make a trip to Charlevoix, which took me right past one of my favorite places: the Bier Gallery, the little red schoolhouse with a watch rabbit on the lawn. But what the heck was that on top of the wellhouse? Ray Bier explained. He wanted to get some of the smaller outdoor […]
