50 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald, a 'rock star' ship, sank in Lake Superior
Twenty-nine sailors drowned when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in the Great Lakes' icy waters on Nov. 10, 1975. The ship was immortalized in a surprise hit 1976 folk ballad by Gordon Lightfoot.

I am once again reminding you that jury trials are good.
Plea-driven mass adjudication is bad.
If you get a jury summons, *don't whine about serving*.

Baseball’s hottest club is: Sacramento!
A’s owner John Fisher has gone all out.
This place has everything: a press box shed from Home Depot, insane summer heat, broken down golf carts, disgruntled ex-Yankee pitchers, multiple ROY candidates.

Yep! “Don’t let them win” sums it up for me.
They want you to be angry and cynical and to close yourself off from everyone and do nothing. Do not let them win! Donate a little money, time, or durable foodstuff if you can, research and vote in your upcoming local election, engage with and help grow your local community!

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.
