#OTD in Weather History, 48 years ago, on November 10, 1975, the ore freighter SS EDMUND FITZGERALD was lost with all hands in a severe storm on Lake Superior.

She is perhaps the best known shipwreck on the Great Lakes, and today we remember her loss. 1/

I remember government cheese in the early 70's. It was actually tasty!

Please don't be so insulting to weasels!

Meet our new puppy, Ellie. We picked her up from the animal shelter a couple weeks and she's a delight! A very smart girl and just full of puppy energy!!

Congratulations!

In memory of jennings. He was the smartest dog. It's been a hard 2 months for my wife and I, We've lost 3 pets in that time and it's just crushing...

Shame on you for bringing reality into this...

Try doing bluesky in mississippi without a vpn.

If it's so effective, why hasn't poopy pants used it?

Lousy effort by pack. They deserved to lose...

Just want to say thank you ladies. I look forward to listening to you every morning - you're great !

In memory of Trey. We had him for over 20 years. Up until we brought him inside about 10 years ago, He kept our barns rat population in control. He was the very best ratter, and would leave us one as a present frequently. We're going to miss him!

One of my favorites! I've still got my copy, which I read over every few years.

I am so thankful for vpn!

Ridiculous that we have to keep repeating this in 2025, but:

✅ Vaccines save lives

✅ Flouride prevents cavities

✅ Sunscreen prevents skin cancer

In memory of our jilly bean. We were blessed to have her for 14 years. She was a wonderful dog and a loved member of our family. She'll truly be missed.

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?”

🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season.

Brilliant timing.

2 hatchlings now. Odds are not great of any more hatching.☹️

I get 3 or 4 nests in the box every year. I got 4 eggs once, always 5 other than that. Frequently get 1 - 3 eggs that don't hatch though.

The bluebirds 3rd nest of the year has begun hatching!
