Good day all.

Traffic Report for Friday.

Allow a little extra time if you'll be crossing the Lift Bridge this morning.

How cool is it this morning? As beautiful as it has been here in Kansas the last couple of days, my guess is that there has been some refreshing mornings up there lately!

Hi Everyone... Looks like a nice UP morning... I can't wait to be up there...

For thoes of you who really pay attention I'm back... Like I always am a few weeks before vacation... I should make a much better attempt and checking this site out every morning!

Mercy, that's a lot of fog! 56 here this am.

Was fortunated enough to spend one summer of my four years at Da Tech in Houghton. Actually enjoyed riding my bike into my early morning job at the cafeteria through this fog. Really woke me up in spite of wet hair and damp clothes.

Very morning from SUOMI!
Those fogpictures are refreshing greetings in this hot summer in the middle!

Japei...thank you for the site for Rea Nurmi's art! It's womderful and inspiring! I'm taking a pastel workshop Aug. 20 and this is what I'm going to try. I love her attitude about artistic freedom.

I remember an early morning crossing over the Big Mac a few years back. It was neat!! Very foggy as we drove onto the bridge and then we were out of the fog and above it,into the sunshine.Well,when you leave lower Michigan and cross over to the UP it is like leaving shadow for sunshine---at least it is to me.

Just a note to let readers know that Fran Giachino passed away on Wednesday. He was a longtime supporter of Calumet (especially hockey) and was wonderful, gentle giant of a guy. Very heart-felt condolences to his wife Sharon, their kids and families. He will be very much missed.

Fran in Ga, picked some blueberries today wish I could share them with you. They are beautiful. Blueberry pancakes for breakfast tomorrow and pie for dinner.
