Tonight marks fifty years since the Edmund Fitzgerald went down on Lake Superior, taking her crew of 29 with her. The "Big Fitz" still remains the largest ship ever sunk on the Great Lakes, and the most storied.

Sadly, no Halloween happenings here for me. Still getting used to my new leg. I'm fine in the daytime, but darkness and uneven surfaces are still my weaknesses. Getting better each day tho.

Tiny Alex the Lion may be tiny, but this machine makes most anything look tiny! Each one of those track pads weighs close to 1000lbs! The top of the track is over 5 feet from the ground.

For those who didn't get the humor, the "little boy wanting a picture" I was referring to in my post refers to the "Little Boy" atomic bomb I'm leaning on in the picture. "Fat Man" is right behind me.
