I’m all for going after these people, but this is not the issue to do it on. Mortgages are public documents. In order to protect the lender’s security interest in your home against subsequent purchasers and lender, the mortgage has to be on file with the Recorder of Deeds.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. 🫢

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Sunset over the Rockies instead of Lake Michigan. Pretty nice.

I still love my iPod Mini. Best way to listen to music on a plane, etc.

Problem is my playlists are frozen from a decade ago because I can no longer hardwire it to iTunes on my PC. (At least Apple can’t corrupt my lists like they do on my phone.)

Yes, I learned my rhythm from Irish Catholic nuns β€” as is quite apparent when you see me dance.

We were living in Northern Wisconsin then. I remember that storm.

Factoid: There have been numerous shipwrecks and devastating storms on and around the Great Lakes on the night of Nov 9/10. Why? That is when on average there is the greatest difference between the air temp and the water temp.

Our 18-month old grandson loves hockey, in person, in the alley and on TV. I think he’ll like curling β€” for a few minutes.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

The Chicago area has an endless supply of suburban moms and dads, and we've all had to sit through late-season soccer games while it's sleeting. Getting arrested protesting barbarity is a cakewalk by comparison. (Massive kudos to these moms.)

Say it isn’t so! We’re not welcome in states with the lowest ranks in education and life expectancy. And the highest ranks in maternal mortality and crime. So unfair!

American: β€œI’m paying more at the grocery store.”

Trump: β€œNo you’re not.”

American: β€œI mean…I am. I have the receipt right here.”

Trump: β€œPrices are WAY down.”

American: β€œThey’re just…not.”

Trump: β€œAre too!”

American: β€œβ€¦β€

Trump: β€œβ€¦β€

American: β€œβ€¦β€

Few years ago a woman who spent all day in her basement circulating conspiracy theories reposted and amplified on a parody site post. They contacted her, told her they were a parody site and they had made it up. She nevertheless kept insisting it was true.

Absolutely. However, the fact that people insisted that the reporter who was there and did the research was wrong because they read it online is scary.

This is an important article for everyone who uses BlueSky and other social media to read.

Note: TO MY KNOWLEDGE the picture of tRump’s standing there looking like a dufus is real.

When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.
