I wrote a letter to my congressman (Jack Bergman-R in the UP) expressing my concern about the Canada/Mexico tariffs. He responded that he would consider my concerns if any legislation came before him. What kind of reactive bullshit is that? Shouldn’t a Representative be Proactive?

It’ll be a lot more than that. It’ll be jobs / careers and health care / lives.

The UP is cold and snowy. Wild turkey are trying to stay warm. Interesting: during the winter, they form a giant pack and then when the weather is better and food is plentiful, they break off into smaller groups. The next 4 years is kind of our winter, so let’s stick together, eh?

So, lots of tired people or is this because we’re afraid of any more injuries?

Not giving up on 2024, but what are the long term implications of all these injuries. With missing offseason workouts, training camp, and maybe the start of 2025 season? Do these guys need calcium supplements? There seems to be an increase in broken bones. 😉

This is so unbelievably weird. It’s not funny. It’s not entertaining. It reminds me of when a small child runs over and says “look what I can do” while moving their arm up and down and jumping in the air. Nice, little Donny, good for you.

So you’re saying that he is more important to his supporters than food. That checks out.

Happy Thanksgiving, Bluesky! I am really excited for some Lions football and turkey. The best part of the day: more snow is coming!

Reading the news with morning coffee is not easing into the day like it used to be. I can feel my blood pressure rising with each article. I think it’s time for a solid morning workout before hitting the weekend chores.

The peace of a Sunday morning in the middle of nowhere cannot be overlooked. The birds and squirrels don’t really care about politics. The turkey, though, I’m 100% sure they’re up to something.

Niners are not the same without Kittle, but having McCaffrey back helps!

A nice view this morning! It started me thinking: we all share that view. We’re more alike than not. My conservative neighbors want to protect their way of life, but someone sold them on the idea that the left is attacking that rather than protecting them. We have to show them otherwise, but how?

Hey,hey,hey! Let’s not go trashing F150’s! Some of us in rural America are just as disappointed and pissed-off as you! PS, everyone hates all the damn flags.

5am is the best. The woods are teeming with nightlife scurrying home, the moon and stars happily light the way, my mind is clear and focused, and the worries of the world haven’t crept into my consciousness yet. There will be time for that later.
