Today marks the 51th anniversary of the tragic lost of the #EdmundFitzgerald. The ship departed Superior, WI on Nov 9, 1975 bound for Detroit but sank near Whitefish Point, MI on Nov 10th during a powerful storm over the #GreatLakes. All 29 crew were lost. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories…

Hear, hear.
If I could offer any advice to a young gentleman, it would be to get one of these lamps, a wooden desk and write handwritten notes, or sketch ideas at night with a drink. I got one in my 20s and it was awesome for creativity.

You've got to love naming the non-V8 engine the "Thrift Master."

Food for thought.
We used to go to the computer lab, spend some time online, then get up and LEAVE THE ENTIRE INTERNET BEHIND.

Spitting rain, chilly morning, taking care of morning business with a cup of black coffee on the front porch. Breathing in the damp air and the smell of leaves. Every morning is a gift.

It’s truly amazing how far suspension technology has come in the last 30 years.
One of Aston Martin's last true hand-built models, the ludicrous twin-supercharged Vantage was a muscle car crossed with a stately home.

I enjoy that it gets dark earlier The pressure to always be doing something subsides. Relaxing in front of the fire feels cozy. Warm, hearty meals inside are satisfying. There is a charm to the cold mixed with the dark. This “dark” period allows us to appreciate the spring and summer more Quit complaining and lean in folks
