I always thought the Martians would have superior technology when they came to take over, but maybe it's trying to blend in Men In Black style.

I've never had a pasty, but I'll bet they're delicious with Velveeta!

And another exception is rain and sand = trouble. I am proof..positive! :(

If you think that one is small, you should see a newborn!

Yeah, it was late March. Anything could have happened at that time of year.

Yup

Sounds adventurous.
What time of the year was that? Snow can happen anytime between September and June in the U.P.

That's what I thought.

That's really the only way to treat rain unless it's a very cold rain and then sneering is the way to go.

When I was hiking through feet of snow in the Porkies in 1982 and then it started to rain hard and continued to rain hard all day which made the snow really sloppy, I wish I had had that exact sentence in my mind, "I can't be dilly dallying in the Porkies forever." But I did get out of there as fast as I could. The trail turned into Slush River. It was an experience. But the Porkies are one of my favorite places.

They are, but since I am from Minnesota and the very first color photo I ever took in my life was very similar to this one, albeit on the north shore of Lake Superior, I can tell the difference right away. Maybe it's because Lake Superior and its rocks will always be home for me even though I've lived in Oregon for the past 41 years.

You are making me homesick.

I stood here in 1982. There was a lot of snow on the ground though. Now that I can see the stone I see that it's beautiful, like a flowage of stone. The lake is, of course, beautiful too.

You’re right. That is a million dollar view!

It’s about time the Church of the Great Outdoors has a song.
