Sorry about that.

On the flip side, if you're ever in Dallas:

Maybe Veggie Grill will open a location in or near Bay City.

It's been over two decades since I was in Texas.... I think I'll hold out for a Veggie Grill. LOL

The Summers are coming to Michigan for Yule!

We're hoping for snow. Can you do that for us, Michigan?

The flights were damn expensive (almost double the regular price!), but there is an expectation we'll get some free childcare out of this deal, somehow.

That's fantastic! I predict either three feet of snow or sunny & 70°.... LOL

This is depressing....

Almost half of Boyne Highlands lodge damaged by fire, resort closed indefinitely

So many awesome memories of that place.... CTAM (the Community Theatre Association of Michigan) held their fall conventions there for decades.

Nestle is a horrible company, my first and longest lasting boycott, from the 1970s. They will probably put that groundwater in infant formulas regardless of lead/other poisons.

Lousy bastids....

"Voting machines in more than one-third of all Detroit precincts registered more votes than they should have during last month’s presidential election, according to Wayne County records prepared at the request of The Detroit News.

Detailed reports from the office of Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett show optical scanners at 248 of the city’s 662 precincts, or 37 percent, tabulated more ballots than the number of voters tallied by workers in the poll books. Voting irregularities in Detroit have spurred plans for an audit by Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson’s office, Elections Director Chris Thomas said Monday.

The Detroit precincts are among those that couldn’t be counted during a statewide presidential recount that began last week and ended Friday following a decision by the Michigan Supreme Court.

Democrat Hillary Clinton overwhelmingly prevailed in Detroit and Wayne County. But Republican President-elect Donald Trump won Michigan by 10,704 votes or 47.5 percent to 47.3 percent.

Overall, state records show 10.6 percent of the precincts in the 22 counties that began the retabulation process couldn’t be recounted because of state law that bars recounts for unbalanced precincts or ones with broken seals.

The problems were the worst in Detroit, where discrepancies meant officials couldn’t recount votes in 392 precincts, or nearly 60 percent. And two-thirds of those precincts had too many votes."

I know it seems premature, but I'd be interested to know what her chances are.
