  1. We have one bank account left in Michigan, our HSA account, which I never got around to moving to a California bank. I had to call them today and it was so funny to chat with someone in Michiganese. It's not that LA isn't a friendly and/or polite city - it generally is both - but hoo boy, Michigan takes it to another level. Until you've been away from that aggressively polite and friendly demeanor for a while, you kind of forget what it's like.

    (also, as I'm typing that hashtag, I'm marveling at how that got to be an actual marketing slogan for the state - kinda creepy given the current political/social environment, tbh)

  2. Any trip to or via the Detroit Airport (DTW) is a treat, because you'll get to watch a mesmerizing fountain and walk through a colorful, musical tunnel:

  3. Some good news. 73,000 acres in a remote stretch of the Upper Peninsula’s Huron Mountains are now permanently protected from future development and open for public recreation. www.mlive.com/environment/... #906Life #PureMichigan

    Michigan permanently protected...

  4. Brief but intense sunrise this morning here on the northwest corner of Lake Michigan. #906Life #PureMichigan

  5. Whoa! I just got out of bed, and have an appointment in a few minutes, so was killing time online when I ran across this link about a bird that is very rarely seen in Michigan (usually far south, Texas to Florida), and only the 3rd sighting here the photographer captured! (He actually finds and shows this crested caracara at about 2:50.) Very interesting way to kill these few free minutes for me this morning!

  6. Well, at least in a week or so it’ll warm back up to…slightly below freezing 🥶 #puremichigan

  7. 1. The colors in the UP were at their best — a gift I didn’t expect.
    2. The woods in the Hiawatha Forest felt grounding and steady. It was home in my childhood and young adulthood.
    3. On a trip shaped by loss, it helped to find a moment of quiet beauty.

  8. Emotional and daylight savings hangover today. (And maybe a few too many beers at euchre). So happy to see Q and team doing what they love. I took this on the way home last night; just caught a deer crossing the road ahead of us. #UglyDogs #PureMichigan #Sunset

  9. Sometimes things align and something fun happens. When this Cardi landed, timing was perfect, and the CY95 trailcam snapped an awesome picture. I counted six Cardinals in the yard today! #birds #pureMichigan #nature #Ostdrossel

  10. One of our Gothic War Morningstars.
    We take an enormous amount of time to make these, hand tooling the head, collar, and pommel. For this one, we black oxided the steel, then we grinded off and polished the facets and other areas where you see bare steel, leaving the black oxide finish in the recesses.

  11. As someone who grew up in Michigan, I'm proud to see that Michigan repealed the so-called "right to work" law from 2012. "Right to work" is a spin-doctoring term, and those laws make it harder to build union power.

  12. After just six straight months of repairs, my MGB is finally ready for the start of the summertime driving season here in Michigan.

    (It’s a long story featuring me, the world’s slowest mechanic.)

    White Lake, Michigan. October 22, 2023.

  13. We've had so much rain and storming that I didn't put the photo cams out, but the Birdsy cams are all rolling. This was earlier today, #Orioles are on the move but I am getting a nice and steady stream. They don't like to share! #birds #birdsofMastodon #pureMichigan #fallmigration #birdwatching #nature #Ostdrossel

  14. The #Grackles are also still around, and some are still feeding babies, but molting has also begun, giving some of them the best and most dramatic looks. As if they couldn’t already do that with their plumage fully intact!⁠

  19. I always like it when birds look distinguishable, have odd markings or behavior that I recognize. This Red-winged Blackbird seems to be growing new wings on his shoulders, and I think it looks really cool and dramatic how the sheaths are slowly turning into real feathers. He did like to present himself properly, too.

  20. There were in-flight snacks!

    My daughter made up a tasty batch of SPAM #musubi for the trip to Michigan yesterday.

    The views as we cruised along in the mighty Skylane were pretty nice too. #PureMichigan #wingwednesday #gaflying #pilotlife #cessna182

  24. Good morning, Fediverse. It’s a hot Friday in southern Michigan. Here’s a book list! As always, gift article—free to read. wapo.st/3N8Trdj #PureMichigan #Bookstodon #BooksOfMastodon #Reading #BookLists #Books

  25. Brrrrr; it’s a snuggle back under the covers with coffee morning here. Pretty though! 33 F when I checked just after 6. #PureMichigan #wimx #Spring #Frost

  29. With my setups, I don't get all the surprise visitors. Sometimes there are boring stretches but in those, there may be hidden gems like awesome portraits of the regulars. This #Grackle photo was one of them. The focus is how the photo came out, I did minor editing. #birds #birdsofMastodon #birdsofnorthamerica #CountGrackula #birdwatching #nature #PureMichigan #Ostdrossel #birdphotography
