Thinking of my incredible father in law, Gordon Mumford (RIP) today. He served bravely in the Merchant Marines in WWII as a Radio Officer, was sunk 2x by German U Boats and lived an amazing life... setting up radio towers in East Africa, teaching engineering in Kenya, a great dad+ grandfather. ❤️

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.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.
