In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

one of my favorite houses ☺️
Nestled in dense woodland in West Cornwall, the Forest House (1975) by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson elevates gracefully on concrete piers above boulders, clad in green-stained timber and framed by bold red industrial glazing to merge architecture seamlessly with nature.

RIDLEY SCOTT echoing the thoughts of many on the state of Film now:
“Well, right now I’m finding mediocrity, we’re drowning in mediocrity. The quantity of movies that are made today, literally globally, millions. There’s not thousands, there’s millions, and most of it is shit.”

September rainfalls: CoCoRaHS citizen science summaries confirm another very dry month. Most locations well below the 90-120mm normals... blue stations less than 50 percent of normal. Again the Annapolis Valley was remarkably dry.

Now that Hurricane Gabrielle is moving eastward toeard the Azores, there are two new systems developing. What may be Humberto and Imelda will likely be interacting with each other, resulting in a rather challenging track forecast for either or both storms.

New Brunswick students are consistently a grade level or more behind other those provinces in mathematics at age 15. That’s barely discussed and mostly accepted
A mom in Moncton doesn’t like the meat served in the cafeteria? Media coverage, immediate action by the school district, media follow-up.

The parents in my kids' school district will flip their lid when we're told that all the meat served in our schools is Halal but won't bat an eye of news reports of consistently mediocre results in French comprehension at the grade 8 level. Smdh.
