Fire scene the next morning
Today was a pretty good day to wander around so we took advantage. First we went to the scene of last night’s fire. Here’s what the burned semi looked like on a lovely summer morning. Who would’ve thought it could make so much thick black smoke? It seems the fire was centered on the cab […]

Fire and the long red line
June 13, 2009
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 […]

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 […]

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

June 10, 2009

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 […]
