No rock band has ever captured forest drama quite like Rush.

🎶There is unrest in the forest
Trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas🎶

Here are the current conditions on Northwest Lake Michigan. A lot of snow will be good for starting to replenish the Great Lakes since they've been trending lower lately. Our waterfalls here in the U.P. are going to be amazing this spring! #906Life #PureMichigan

Not sure how this helps with affordability? This regime is so unfit to govern.
Marx remarks somewhere that historical events appear, as it were, twice: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.

A deep freeze is coming 🥶🧊
Cold Weather Advisories have been issued for most of western Wisconsin for Monday morning, with wind chills forecast to be between -20° and -30°F.

We may see these get extended further east, but right now it looks like it won’t be as cold closer to Lake Michigan.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.
