Regardless of why, it will be a pleasure to see Bari Weiss lose her job. (60 Minutes ratings last week were at a 25-year low, and the word is Weiss is packing.)

Eh, Lá Bas! I love this band (literally, as these are 2 of my sons) and they’re performing at the Ferndale (MI) Harvest Festival next Saturday! The festival is on Livernois between Marshfield & Fielding from noon-9pm. Lá Bas (+tuba & drums) performs at 8:30pm, closing it out in style.

Playing “Dead Man’s Bones” (music & lyrics by Ryan Gosling, I am mot even joking.)Colin on guitar & vocals, Greg on trumpet, playing a song Colin wrote called “Anymore.”Arguing about the set list as Greg balances the fiddle beneath his chin.

A visit to the Boblo Museum. Boblo Island was a popular Detroit-area destination from 1910 to the 1990s, with an amusement park & public facilities on the Canadian side of the Detroit River. The museum is housed on one of the steam ferries that transported people from both countries to the island.
Boblo Boat museum, on the deck of the former S.S. St. Clair, one of the boats. A poster from 1946 advertising the 97th year of the St. Andrews Society Scottish Games, which took place every summer on Boblo Island. It’s located on the southern end of the Detroit River near Lake Erie on the Canadian side, but those were different times. The Scottish Games are still held annually but are now located in Livonia, MI, a suburb of Detroit.Another Scottish Games Boblo poster, advertising “a braw lot of laddies.” Interestingly, sometimes it’s spelled with a hyphen, Bob-Lo, and sometimes as all one word. The older lit tends to hyphenate more, but it’s never been consistent.Some family members looking at the museum exhibits. It needs a better curator, but it’s a good start and I’m glad they’ve saved one of the boats. The steam engine of the S.S. St. Clair.

Ah, Friday, at last! Well, what are you waiting for? Check & maintain your momentum. Stay clear of the edges. Watch those curves. Check your mirrors. Allow those heading your way, safe passage. Let's get-r-done! Let's go! Be careful. Be safe. Be shiny. Be glimmer. Be you to the full. Take no shit.
We keep saying
"someday"
as though someday belongs to us.
As though everyone will still be there.
As though every door will open again.
We learn too late-time does not keep promises we make for it.

NEWS: The DOJ lawyer defending Trump's ban on
CNN, MSNBC and Politico is Michael Velchik. In college, he wrote a Latin class essay from Hitler's point of view, so disturbing his instructor made him redo it. In 2013 he called Mein Kampf his favorite book he'd read that year and praised Hitler's grasp of propaganda without mentioning the Holocaust.
This is the man now arguing in federal court that the press has no right to White House access.

I love the painterly effect you can get from just a touch of ICM. More #bluebells from a pretty little wood near #Berkhamsted - my entry for this week's #ShareMondays2026 :)
New leaves sprinkled over a bluebell carpet with trees behind and backlit by the sun just before sunset. The shutter speed was slowed down a little (to 1/2 a second) to get the slight intentional camera movement (ICM) and painterly effect on the bluebells and leaves.
