It was time for another visit north, to Manistee, MI, to Lake Bluff Farms, to see the Giant Sequoia, the largest sequoia in the world outside of CA. My friend had never been there before and I wanted her to see what the big deal was about it. The first/last time I’d visited was in…

#FFF 81 No Kings Vote Early Rally 101726
The image above comes from a website, but the rest are ones I took on the 17th at the rally I attended. I was encouraged by the number of people who attended, standing along the corner of a busy intersection in town. I cant say how many were there but I would estimate 100 people….

Hello All. Happy Friday! It’s been a whirlwind week and it isn’t over yet. Wednesday I went out for lunch to a place downtown called The Early Owl. I can’t remember what the building was years ago, but they’ve turned it into a bee-yoo-tiful restaurant. We had lunch up on the rooftop a few years…
