They warmed up, did the ice and then we sat for an hour and then they warmed up again and did the ice and we sat and then they canceled the game. Pretty bush league of Tech’s facilities.
How did I go 50 years, get a degree in English, and teach secondary ELA for 23 years and nobody told me to read Lonesome Dove? Seriously? This beauty might beat To Kill a Mockingbird as the best American book written if the remaining 700 pages are as good as the first 150.
Did two nights on grand island. Was supposed to do three but the weather forecast along with the flies at North Beach coaxed me to do a 17 mile day and leave early.
Day1: took the noon pontoon aka the ferry and the bus tour before hiking to Little Dunes 1. Great site right on the water. Good swimming in Trout Bay. I didn’t realize that this was basically to only place where camp sites are right on the beach.
Day2: was supposed to hike about 6 miles to Shelter Ridge site but I got there early in the day and when I walked down to the beach, the flies were atrocious and since the campsite was back in the woods, I kept walking until I got to the Juniper Flats group site which I knew was not reserved.
Day3: hiked to the ferry dock in the rain
Impressions:
-the views are minimal as most of the trail is old carriage roads in the woods.
- hiking is pretty easy, not a lot of ups and downs on mostly dry dirt roads.
- other than the sites in Trout Bay the sites do not have easy (or any) access to the lake/water
- not a lot of people. 12 people on the bus tour, a couple of boats on the beach in Trout Bay, tenish backpackers, fewer bikers.
- bugs were typical. No problem if in the wind but rougher if you weren’t.
- not unrecommended but I’ll stick with pictured rocks unless I want to rent a cabin

Looking for ideas. My current preference is what I refer to as a Carolina Dog. That might be the actual name but I first had hot dogs like this from a vendor outside a Lowes in Charlotte in the late ‘90s. I make a natural casing Vollwerths (brand) hot dog grilled over charcoal on a buttered and grilled bun served with bean-less chili (Skyline is slightly preferred over Michigan sauce), onions, mustard, and a creamy coleslaw. It’s basically a coney dog with coleslaw but the grilled bun is mandatory. I also like to have classic potato chips with it.
How do you serve a hot dog?🌭
Doesn’t appear to be in pain or even favoring that foot. How do I help him keep it clean and heal?
Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Yearly? Never? I am of the belief that if you ask 100 Americans everyday if they ate pizza the day before, you would never get 100 noes. Possible exceptions for the day after Thanksgiving, Easter, and the 4th of July.
