Snow in Toledo ?!?!?! (November 21, 2008)

The weather people called for snow, and it did snow. Everyday this week.
But this is what Toledo called snow this week. This is the most that actually stuck to the ground all week. (And it didn't last more than 15 minutes or so)

Late Night Boat Call (November 9, 2008)

It's 11:30 at night, 26 degrees outside, there's a major northwest wind blowing, and I can't feel my hands
.
What's happening?
The boat's going under the Bluewater Bridges. Good timing as usual.


It may not be in person or even close, but you have to take what you can get in this life, no matter the hour, temperature, or weather conditions.

Happy Halloween (October 31, 2008)




Tuesday Afternoon In Toledo (October 21, 2008)

What is there to do on a bright, sunny, Tuesday afternoon in Toledo?
Look for boats, of course.


Jay's boat, the M/V Calumet finally in Toledo



Luckily the Saginaw was in the way and taking their time.
The company may not like it, but we do.

The Saginaw might start loading today?!?!
Take your time, Jay likes being able to come home for a while.
