We try to get out at least twice a day for long walks, it’s good for us both not only physically, but also psychologically. Sometimes the weather can be a challenge, but not an obstacle that we cannot overcome. Yesterday was one of the trying days. Yesterday we headed west on North Shore. There wereContinue reading “Is it snowing?”

Some Sunday comics to start the week
Never tell somebody that they don’t have the skill needed to do something. That’s as dumb as not calling nurses professionals. Don’t poison insects or rodents! They’re not pests but actually part of the ecosystem. If you must get rid of them use non-toxic means. Woodstock new what to do, and anyway Snoopy’s home hasContinue reading “Some Sunday comics to start the week”
Random thoughts
Sometimes I sit down and think about the past. One thing that came to mind was when I had my old Nikon F2 (which I still have) and a dark room. In 1975 we went to an Eric Clapton concert in Detroit and I took the following photo. Not the best photo so I enhancedContinue reading “Random thoughts”
Another day at Whitefish Point, December, 2025
This morning it was a lot warmer than yesterday at the same time. We started our walk and it was 15F. We opened the front door letting some heat out, but keeping the storm door closed and these ice crystals formed yesterday. No need to do that today. While the point was warmer and withContinue reading “Another day at Whitefish Point, December, 2025”
Whitefish Point – December, 2025
We are planning to spend 8-10 days at Whitefish Point. The weather forecast looks like it will snow every day, which is no surprise and it doesn’t bother us. As I am sitting here writing it is still dark outside and 7F. But inside with a fire going in the wood stove the cabin isContinue reading “Whitefish Point – December, 2025”
World AIDS Day
Yesterday was AIDS Day. It has been celebrated annually by the U.S. government until this year. What a shame. But that’s the nature of the current administration, ignore what’s important and emphasize what can hurt the people. For me, on the other hand I just finished a book on emerging diseases and just started oneContinue reading “World AIDS Day”
A heavy late fall snow
It started snowing before 4 pm yesterday and there is still light scattered snow now at 9 am. I went out and started shoveling the drive, a bit before 8 am. Ifigure there was about 3-4″. and since it was 33F it was extremely and not easy to move quickly. This is what the driveContinue reading “A heavy late fall snow”
A special birthday
Today is Susan’s final birthday in her 60s. We started the day getting breakfast at Village Kitchen. A wonderful breakfast, as usual. We saw Rosy, Helen, Victor and John. Then walked home. Helen gave Susan a large piece of carrot cake to celebrate the day. This mural was done in 2002. We’ve been going thereContinue reading “A special birthday”
The day after Thanksgiving
I guess that Woodstock and his friends survived Thanksgiving. But why? Ah, so Woodstock, and presumably his friends don’t go well with cranberries. Had a quiet dinner yesterday late afternoon after the Lions football game. It was fairly traditional. We had turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, acorn squash, cornbread-chestnut stuffing and peas with rolls.Continue reading “The day after Thanksgiving”
Thanksgiving – 2025
Here we are at another Thanksgiving. I can remember as a child having a house filled with family and friends. How many times did Uncle Ralph and Aunty Carmela bring us a large turkey – too many to count. There would be a lot of laughing, a Lions football game then dinner followed by numerousContinue reading “Thanksgiving – 2025”
