This Is Halloween
Super Saturday fun for everyone.
Today is a perfect fall day in sunny Florida.
I am too busy having fun to be blogging or reading, so enjoy this Halloween video.
Beware, if you are afraid of the monster under your bed or the stairs.
Watch out for the clown.
How are you spending this wonderful fall day?
What are you doing this weekend?
YEAH!
The weekend is here.
It’s Saturday and that can only mean one thing, well, maybe two.
Football and golf, not necessarily in that order.
On tap today, we have the meanest, baddest Wolverines in the nation.
GO BLUE!
Okay, that’s it for now.
Gotta play some golf.
Gotta watch some football.
Gotta eat some wings.
Gotta drink some beer.
I’ll be thinking of you…….not. LOL
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Enjoy this high speed thrill ride!
Sending Thanks and a Question
As you, my faithful followers and readers, may know, I have been having some blog issues. I love blogging, but am not computer literate. Probably pretty obvious. LOL
Right now, I am using a newsletter program to send out notifications of new blog posts, but I am not sure if it will meet all my requirements.
The blogging community is wonderful in its eagerness to help other bloggers when they have a problem, so this is my call for help. I know a lot of you use WordPress and other platforms that supply all you need, but for us self-hosted people, we need to find our own. My question to you is:
“What email program do you use when notifying your followers of new posts?”
I appreciate everyone who has stuck with me and sympathized with my frustration. I look forward to entertaining you with many more posts in the future and want to thank you for all your support!
Michigan Great Lakes ice cover has positive effects for the region
I started my life in Flint, Michigan and left there for sunnier climes in 1987. I love my home state and still have family there. It holds a special place in my heart and I would like to share this interesting almost record of ice cover on the Great Lakes.
Michigan is known as The Great Lakes State, The Wolverine State, The Mitten State, and the Water (Winter) Wonderland State.
The name Michigan is the French form of the Ojibwa word mishigamaa, meaning “large water” or “large lake”.
In this Feb. 16, 2014 satellite image provided by the NOAA Great Lakes CoastWatch is the ice cover on the Great Lakes. (AP Photo/NOAA Great Lakes CoastWatch)
Michigan’s State Motto
“Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice”
“If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I still have family living in Michigan and we have always enjoyed the Great Lakes, plus many smaller lakes that dot the entire state. No matter where you live in Michigan, you are never more than six miles from a natural water source or 85 miles from a Great Lake shore.
The Great Lakes have receded miles from the shoreline I used to enjoy from the time I was a child. Whether it is being siphoned off for the drinking water, global warming or just Mother Nature doing it’s thing, I cannot say for sure, but it is something that we should be concerned about.
I have been watching the freeze over of the Great Lakes with much interest. It is now 91% frozen over, a near record that was set in 1979 when almost 95% froze over. Hopefully, this will help to raise a declining water level.
This does not mean we do not need to be ever vigilant when such a huge fresh water supply is concerned.
