Lake Michigan north of Milwaukee already prepping for fall (this was yesterday, but it was chilly, windy and wet).

Really cool. These (and about 30 more) hatched in a neighbor’s yard last weekend. Too many for the small pond they were trying to get to, so someone took them to a local river.

Do you ever wander around Milwaukee with a camera? I’d love to hear your thoughts on its architecture, if you have. Just great contrasts all over the older parts of the city (this spot in downtown is a favorite).

Downright picturesque by local standards this morning as the leader headed into mile 20 or so of the Illinois Marathon.

Working my way through “The Gulf.” It’s terrific but (for a non-academic like me, anyway) dense. Reading this one, too. Big, sweeping and one of the best things I’ve ever read.

Final bullet there leads me to suggest the Rangers:
-Long history of futility, so no front-running risk.
-Some recent success made even sweeter by said futility, so all hope is not lost.
-Bruce Bochy is a fine manager.
-By statute, TX fans must and do loathe the Angels.
-Amazing old logo.

A big pile of rocks and odd trees out west deserves at least an honorable mention. Very astute on your combo No. 10 (which aren’t too bad in the winter, either).
