Alert: The Maps Thread

A favorite thing of mine is people who have never seen the Great Lakes learn that they are massive. Like inland seas.

Anyway, nothing like driving to a relative's cottage and just hanging out on Lake Huron watching the waves.

 

The dunes at Indiana Dunes National Park would be impressive on any coast

 

My wife grew up in Rhode Island and could see the ocean from her front yard (it was about a mile away). She didn’t expect to be impressed by the Great Lakes, but the first time we went to Duluth, there were waves bigger than she ever saw at Newport.

It was the first time she understood how the Edmund Fitzgerald might have had a hard time with heavy weather.

 

Having driven over the Mackinac Bridge on a windy day was fun!

 

Also it's much easier to have cats in apartment buildings

 

Oops...I thought you meant cars!



Even better...scene from one of my all time favorites.

 

Cats are much more low maintenance than dogs. I can leave my house for hours and not have to worry about letting them out, I can set up an auto feeder for them, and they tend to keep to themselves.

I have a cat, I was unsure about keeping him for several reasons but he's been great company for a variety of reasons.

I love both cats and dogs but owning a cat is much more reasonable for me than a dog.

 

I've heard stories about one of the rescuers, who was super experienced on oceans said he was terrified on Superior.

Anyway, the church mentioned by Gordon Lightfoot is this place. Been here for a couple weddings. Nearby is the tunnel to Canada.

 

Is that an AnchorCross? BLASPHEMY!

 

Most popular Halloween candy by state



Dafuq is Sweet Smiles?

 

A Dollar General classic.

 

But as someone who used to live in Minneapolis, I’ve never heard of “laffy-taffy”.

 

********, and here I am putting out drugs and razor stuffed tootsie rolls.

 

The church fetish and the verbal stuff they need to work on. But yeah, the voting is commendable.

 

Gross. Tat shit gets rifled back at the house when those cheap mf'ers shut the door. Same with apples

 

Trick or treaters at my house get a ladle of refried beans in their bag.

 

Now to figure out whether those are dressed up kids, or it's really ICE.

 

This is the best post I've seen today, so thanks for that.

 

Halloween is the time of year where a small segment of people make a "choice" of dressing up as a stereotype and have to 1 - lose their job 2 - get dragged on social media 3 - have a NYT/WSJ article written up about them 4- have to explain it was a sorority/fraternity theme party and a long time ago or 5- a combo of all of the above

 

It is called The Mariner's Church.

 

As a checker, this is accurate for my state. At least in this corner of California.
