Dr. Lunchables posted:A kid from my town took a canoe down to Chicago once over a two month tour. It’s the farthest northern watershed that empties into Lake Michigan and a main tributary of the Menominee River. Reminded me of this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/23/sports/yacht-racing-inland-races-prove-worthy-of-oceangoing-sailors-best-efforts.html that article posted:Although the typical Chicago-to-Mac features conditions that would be called moderate compared with ocean racing, Lake Michigan often stirs up a real blow. The 1970 race, in which 88 of 167 starters failed to finish, many of them dismasted in the high winds, made a convert of no less a helmsman than Ted Turner. An accomplished ocean sailor long before he won the America's Cup in 1977, Turner brought American Eagle, a 12-Meter yacht he had converted for deepwater racing, to the 1970 Chicago-to-Mac race. As the story goes, Turner, with characteristic bravado, feigned nervousness when someone mentioned the potentially rough weather ahead, making it clear to all in earshot that he was not afraid of any lake. Which I discovered when a bunch of people in d&d were arguing that the plot to kidnap Whitmer and abandon her in the middle of Lake Michigan was entrapment by the feds because “lol it’s a lake”

It’s the same river that runs through Republic. It cuts south to the Michigamme Reservoir, which is a few miles east of Amasa, then continues south until it joins the Menominee. The rivers in Amasa meet the Michigamme down by the Peavy dam and paint river, south of Crystal Falls. (I probably know your family.) The canoe kid took that route to Lake Michigan and paddled the shoreline, staying at state parks and camping, all the way to Chicago.

Hot Diggity! posted:Is there still the cart selling booze? Been a minute since I took the train back north. Sadly no, at least not on the Hiawatha although if you get one of the two trains that goes on to the Twin Cities then I think it may be there. That being said our usual thing is to get some fresh squeezed OJ in the little bottles and modify it. Great breakfast on your way down.

Someone who is totally not mad posted:I find it hilarious a couple of Discord clowns who don’t know ball are calling a player basically in his second year a bust. Lmfao Never played over 34% of snaps in any game this year and didn’t put up TJ Watt numbers. Auto bust. Lmfao Nah you shitter trolls just wanna talk down about a person because you think you’re fkn GMs. Lmfao I show one PFF grade showing he graded out as a decent starter in his very limited snaps this year and you clowns turn your nose up and poo poo on PFF grading because it doesn’t fit your lovely narrative. Instead of showing what you trolls “rely on” for grading you stay yapping and begging for Levi to be a bust. Hold this L real close to your concave bird chest and think of me every time Levi makes a play next year. I wanna see you shitters type then

Levi Onwuzurike? He was perpetually injured and now is an anonymous rotational DT. "Just because the coaches barely play him doesn't mean he's a bust!" is a really weird position to take. The nice thing is we took Alim McNeill the round after and he's probably gonna be a Pro Bowler soon.

Yeah, he's been perpetually injured, there wan an interview with him where he talks about this being the first off season he's allowed to train and work out and isn't stuck rehabbing. It's a make or break year for him and he might not even make the team out of training camp (though luckily for him cutting him saves almost no money).

Any word about Brodic Martin? Seems like a high pick to really get no snaps or anything. I know it was considered a developmental year for him but wouldn't you expect some level of readiness for game day?

Some of the more deranged Lions homers on Twitter think the new D-line coach will make him a star. But also it's February, I don't think there's really word on much of anybody.

I think his pick showed the lions didn't really expect this year to go as well as it did, cause yeah we coulda really used a DT who was ready to contribute. He is a massive human though, so it would be great if his talent caught up to his size.

My partner's family absconded to the UP separately after her parents divorced. Her mother ended up in Marquette, her father in Michigamme. He died of cancer last summer there. We made many grocery trips between the two locations. And got shitfaced at Blackrocks Brewing. Thank you for attending my (sad)TED talk.

He absolutely did not lmao. Demeco Ryans made the playoffs with a roster people thought was gonna be one of the worst in the League. Stefanski made the playoffs with a team and roster that started like 30 different QB's. The Lions, pretty much did exactly what they were expected to do. Which is cool. But not like a better coaching job than those two imo.
