Decade of the Pasty Cam on this day ^{Printed on Recycled Internet}

Name four musical instruments seen in today's decade review.

Hi. Accordion, guitar, ukele, violin, clarinet

Actually, we think instead of a 'ukele' that it may be a mandolin. That's why we only required four :o)

Clarinet, violin, accordian, guitar

Especially like the blueberry pics (yummy). So, correct me if I'm wrong, the Keweenaw grows thimbleberries, cherries, + blueberries. Quite a diverse peninsula.

I just read in the Gazette about this being the second coolest July on record. It's been this way throughout the Midwest. My sister in Illinois says that she has not needed the A/C at all, unheard of. It seems the weather goes through natural warming and cooling cycles and the bad, bad humans are not to blame afterall. Al Gore must be in seclusion and heavy on the antidepressants.

Just wondering if the west coast residents may be a little leary of a "global warming". I sure would if I lived there these days. There's patterns of course but maybe a little extreme some what? But this Illinois transplant sure is enjoying whatever they call this pattern. 1/10 of a degree in the Quad Cities from the record cool. I LOVE IT!

"… the second coolest July on record. [in the western UP …]"
That's OK, we're making up for it in Phoenix.

From The Arizona Republic, Jul. 29, 2009, click → Hottest month ever, "July '09 shaping up to be warmest month ever in Phoenix area".

That has now been confirmed by the NWS, click → July 2009 Was The Hottest Month On Record, quoted here, in part [emphasis added]:

"We begin in Arizona where it is down right hot.

So hot that residents in Peoria are having to watch where they step. The 110-degree heat is literally melting the streets.

The city has poured sand on the streets to help with the tar, but now realized there's going to be a problem when it hardens."

Good question FrNash! Why do you?

Where in Chassell is the house?

mickill mouse (Ram4):
"Where in Chassell is the house?"
On the north side of the Chassell-Painesdale Rd, about 1/4 mile up da hill from the ol' blinking traffic signal in beautiful downtown Chassell.

In case anyone's interested, there are some pictures included here in the listing.

For those out here interested in birds, birdwatching, birdfeeding, wildlife photography of all sorts I'm pleased to announce a brand new Michigan birding website. A few of us have been working at forming this website recently and it is now up and running! The website owner, administrator and headquarters are in Leelanau county. but we cover the all of Michigan. We envision guests and members eventually from Ontario, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, New York, and Minnesota as these are all Great Lakes states! This website will be a broad, comprehensive family orientated site with emphasis on conservation, the environment but will be very neutral regards politics and philosophy. We feel Michigan now needs a website for all novices, amateur, or professionals such as this for sharing. Drop in and check it out!
