Smoky and hazy air from forest fires far away, making photographing (and breathing) difficult.
This strange looking tree trunk (?) on the beach in Echo Bay makes for an interesting wooden sculpture, like a Hippopotamus in the water.

We're visiting Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and started with a trip to the car-free Macinac Island. It's in Lake Huron near the straits of Macinac, connecting it to Lake Michigan (though they're technically the same lake).
The Great Lakes are magnificent. They're so big that looking across them feels a lot like looking across the ocean in some spots (minus the salt water breeze).
A 8 year old found a shipwreck two years ago on the shores of Lake Huron that’s now getting excavated.

Il y a deux ans, un enfant de 8 ans a trouvé une épave sur les rives du lac Huron. Celle-ci est en cours d’excavation.

Scientists suspect lethal virus behind countless fish washing up dead in Lake Huron
Scientists who study fish suspect an outbreak of deadly hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS), could be behind the unusually large number of dead fish in Lake Huron this spring.

The icebreaker has started to break the shipping lanes but it will still take a while for it to reach this area.
An America Sandwich Grab Bag o’ Humour
Since Trump has decided the Gulf of Mexico should be renamed the Gulf of America, perhaps he should look to other areas that America has been slighted in, such as the animal kingdom.
Canada geese spend half their time down south, in places that don’t freeze over. So, to be consistent, Trump should call these America geese.
Some Americans might object to the name change. I’ve heard that some Americans don’t like how the geese poop everywhere and generally make a nuisance of themselves. That’s exactly how Canadians view Americans as doing. So make the change, Donald.

So what happens to werewolves during a lunar eclipse? Lunar eclipses always happen on a full moon. Do werewolves suddenly switch back to human at this time?
Well clouds occult the full moon all the time. There seems to be no difference in werewolf behaviour because of this.
However, the lunar eclipse also turns the moon blood red. Surely no good can follow such a colour change. Maybe werewolves become more bloodthirsty during such an event and kill for no reason at all.

I think Americans are smug that they wholly contain one of the great lakes and own half of the rest of them, But they don’t wholly own one great lake.
Lake Michigan just seems to be owned by the Americans. But the professionals will tell you otherwise. That’s not a river connecting Lake Michigan to Lake Huron. That’s a channel. There is no change in elevation. So Lake Michigan is at the same level and is the same lake as Lake Huron. Lake Huron is bigger so the combined lake would be called Lake Huron.
This combined lake is bigger in surface area than Lake Superior. So it is the largest fresh water lake in the world. Which would make the name, Lake Superior, incorrect. I smell naming rights for that lake.
Trump may try to have the lake named after him. But, to be frank, Lake Trump sounds stupid. Also the lake would have been downgraded from Superior to Trump. Trump couldn’t be associated with such a loser.
So let’s call it Lake Gitche Gumee just like in the Gordon Lightfoot song, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. This is the Ojibwa name for the lake.
