Typhoon Tip Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Not the place for it ... but a quick comment on the Bruins. I frankly thought they were in trouble back whence they split the first 2 games at home to allow 1-1 going back south. mm... that didn't sit well with me. I lowered my expectations at that point in time. Admittedly ... there was optimistic when they got a 3-1 lead. But then I was summarily checked out, feeling as though the whole thing was just as predictable - we knew... as the 2004 ALCS debacle. Same exact sensation - we knew it was over when the Bruins lost game 5 ... Wasn't going to matter what the win/loss record was at the time. The rest was academic. So.. being psycho-babble prepared as I was, I wasn't terribly offended or even a little bit surprised by last night's destiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Reminds me of the year that the Seattle Mariners won 116 games, tied for the most ever, and then lost to NY in the league championship series. 1st team to win 110+ games and not reach the WS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to take anything away from Marquette, but the NWS office is in Negaunee, just outside Marquette city but the elevation/upslope conditions make it a snow microclimate. The NWS office probably averages twice what the city of Marquette averages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Negaunee and Ishpeming are unreal. We talked about moving there once. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 That is true. I use to drive between Marquette and Hancock frequently for work and it always struck me the elevation difference. From HWY 41 in Ishpeming you look down into Marquette and then out onto Lake Superior. Marquette is a fun town. Always liked staying there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got like a 23 part story to date. It’s hard to read his information and come away with any other conclusion that the girlfriend did not hit and kill him with the car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquette is 666' while Negaunee is 1371'. Lake Superior is about 600'. It's a combination of elevation and upslope why they get so much more in Negaunee and Ishpeming, although it seems almost unreal when you witness the yearly difference. I was in the area in february 2022. Marquette had probably 20" and Negaunee 40" depth. Took this pic. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Saw our first bear of the season on our property last night. Mom and 2 or 3 cubs. Hard to see (it was dark and we saw them in our car headlights after an event). The cubs were pretty small. A neighbor had another solitary bear in her back yard last week. It is smart enough to stand up behind a tree trunk to hide as a car approched. She caught it on a Ring or whatever camera. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that closed Calumet Air Force Station up on the Keweenaw is a tremendous weenie spot too. But if I could move anywhere it would probably be Baker Mountain in Washington State. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol For the newest version, it can be had for super cheap with the tax incentive. However, they are discontinuing it so they can use the plant for more trucks/SUVs. Too bad...it is a nice little car for some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 So I have an eastern phoebe brooding under the roof of my chicken run. I went up to check the eggs a bit ago and noticed a speckled egg mixed in that belongs to a brown headed cowbird. What’s the protocol on that? Should I remove the egg so that the phoebes have a better chance at survival or let nature be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call your local Audubon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
