Petoskey Stone Festival adds new events
This Saturday, May 29, half of Antrim County will head over to Barnes Park to eat roasted corn and BBQ and elephant ears. We’ll browse vendor booths for handcrafted jewelry and polished Petoskeys. We’ll hunt for the Fabulous Fossil down on the beach. If it gets warm enough, we’ll even go splashing into the Bay. […]
Tigger paints the fence
May 27, 2010
In accordance with the new policy around here to include more about cats, we publish this book recommendation, submitted by Tigger Newman. Miss Puss says that she has, indeed, read the book (which was news to me) and that she found it useful, particularly the section on avoiding difficult people. I asked her if there might […]

(That would be Wednesday, May 26, just in case you’re reading this on, say, Friday.) The event is a fund raiser for the Central Lake Area Historical Society. Gary Dawson is […]

Muskie a la Wine Cap?
May 25, 2010

I thought you’d like to see them. They were enormous. When I was googling for more information about Wine Caps, I happened upon […]

Shooting blind and the reliability of surprise
May 24, 2010
Regular readers will recall that I have been mourning the death of my little camera. It turns out that it is only the display that is dead. I discovered this when I was sorting through the last batch of images and found the one I was taking when the Phfft! happened. Well, if that one […]
