The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
of the big lake they called "Gitche Gumee."
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
when the skies of November turn gloomy.

sitting here at the brewery, enjoying a Pumpernickel Porter, and somehow thinking about decades ago getting out of the pickup with my buddy to "lock in the hubs."
Are there any four-wheel drive vehicles made today that require you to lock in the hubs?

My adopted summer city of Superior, Wisconsin surprised me today. I was beaming with #PRIDE when I drove down the main drag.
As a response to the insanity happening in Florida outside the former Pulse Nightclub, I witnessed this group painting a #rainbow #crosswalk at the corner of 12th and Tower.

This morning I was fishing on Lake Superior. Water temperature is too warm, so the fish aren't interested. Yes, I got shut out.
But apparently some people are catching fish. This is one of the garbage bins by the fish cleaning station. Major ick!

Gitche Gumee is not giving up its treasures this morning. At least not so far. Doesn't really matter. Don't hurry, be sappy

Andy brought me a selection in his checked bag all the way from Portland. Only 2 of them exploded in the bag all over his clothes.
This was one of the survivors, until now.

I'm keeping a few pieces, but I'm bringing a whole bunch of this D2L swag to #D2LFusion to give away to old friends and some new ones, too.
Some pieces are vintage (like me) and others are newer. A few different logo designs in the mix.
Retiring at the end of Fusion is bittersweet (like me).

Walked through TSA in Duluth this morning with my shoes on. Next, the Noem Gnome should stop the farce that is the 3-1-1 policy
On the left you have a 12 oz. bottle of Fructis shampoo. On the right are seven 3 oz. bottles of Fructis shampoo.
12 oz. not allowed, but 21 oz. is okay. Idiots. #TSA

Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey says "if you throw a brick..." at an officer, I, the judge, jury and executioner "will shoot you graveyard dead."
He will kill you, because if he left it up to the justice system, you would be less severely punished, and we can't have that.
Florida, of course.
