50 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald began her final voyage across Lake Superior. Less than 36 hours later she vanished.
Five decades later "Why?" is still a mystery.
Starting tomorrow, I'll tell the story of her final hours on the lake - as they happened.

I regret to inform you - I have once again made plans.

So the strategy was to call as much attention as possible to the subsidy issue for 5 weeks, and then cave. Thus ensuring premium increases will not only be blamed on the GOP, but on your own fecklessness?
I'm typically in favor of moderate deliberation, but this generation of Dems has got to go.

Didn't realize she never gives up her dead when the gales of November come early.

Next weekend is the 50th anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald's final sailing.
The last few years I've tweeted along during her final voyage, exploring the storm, the Fitz's route across Lake Superior, and the fateful decisions that led to her disappearance. This year I'll be doing it on BlueSky.

I personally don't accept any familial relation until I have notorized documentation indicating their precise lineage. No, my sister won't talk to me anymore, but...is she really my sister? Who can know.
