What park was that? I don't remember one up there, but that doesn't mean anything given the 30 odd years of drinking.


Attended Mass at Grotto for the Feast of the Assumption. Asked betterhalf to drive past this park--here is what we found. Kerschke Park...

State contractors were buzzing down the long stuff on the side of 75 north of 86 Mile this morning. We had quite a show these past months watching all things wild grow to thigh-height and beyond.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now, what I'm with isn't 'it,' and what's 'it' seems weird and scary.
