After a couple decades of relative obscurity, Nixon’s name has been called on frequently over the last 10 years. Donald Trump’s corruption and indifference to the laws of our government have inevitably drawn the comparison to “Tricky Dick” Nixon over and over again.
And it’s clearly gotten under the skin of the only president in history to be impeached twice. - Adam Kinzinger

Another of those brilliant guitarists who was gone way too soon. Fits the mood here on deck.

“I liked how a truck’s lights illuminated Michigan Trader as someone made a walk down with a flashlight. Some nightly reflections from the antenna farm shined across the water.” - Adam Bjornberg

I get inside from the Friday night deck shenanigans and find them behaving. Of course, after I took this, they both jumped up and followed me into the kitchen and sat side by side, expecting treats. I had to oblige.

A couple years ago the 60s band The Ides Of March, best known for their song “Vehicle,” performed here at the local performing arts center and I went to take photos for the newspaper. One of the band’s members is Jim Peterik who wrote “Vehicle” and also wrote songs in the 80s as a member of the band Survivor. The band played some of those tunes that night along with this one Jim wrote for .38 Special.

We gotta get to A Higher Place
And we gotta leave by night
Before that river takes us down
We gotta find somewhere that's dry
Yeah, we gotta run like we've never run
Or we're gonna lose the light
If we don't get to A Higher Place and
Find somebody who can help somebody
Who might be nobody no more
