I'm honestly looking forward to this, but not looking forward to the 1,000th Ken Burns documentary using the exact same format he's refused to stray from since Civil War 40 years ago.
In his latest project, Ken Burns turns his lens to the American Revolution — an event he has called the most significant since the birth of Christ. n.pr/47GH56x

The other night I dreamed I got called back in to work at Po' Folks (my first real job when I was 16) and it was really stressful because they had all these new menu items that I didn't know how to prepare and I was having to figure it out on the fly.

50 years ago today, #OTD in Weather History, on November 10, 1975, the Great Lake ore freighter SS EDMUND FITZGERALD was lost with all hands in a severe storm on Lake Superior.
So it is time for the annual reupping of my thread on her loss.

Good god that's the very definition of insurance. That's how the business works!
