Always get a fright when I see someone post Mother’s Day thinking I missed it. Furious searching of the web and let out a sigh of relief to find out I missed it in March.

"regular" news has taken over the news model of the National Enquirer...

Thinking people are left out in the cold.

@JohnJBurnsIII@kzoo.to avatar

Pretty tired of streaming "players" assuming I don't want to see credits...as it shifts to mini-view or worse auto starts next episode or movie.

All 3 streaming systems that I use - do this: #Netflix, #Prime, and #ParamountPlus.

Stop it !!

I suspect a bunch do - as a way to keep you from leaving... thinking it is helpful.

However, it would destroy the experience of watching the various Marvel movies that use end credit scenes for future movies...

The first Bob Dylan tune I recall hearing as a nine year old and soon after, I heard “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door.” I was hooked.

Lay Lady Lay was on jukebox at restaurant by gas docks marina I worked at in summer... so many years ago.

Constant repeat.

When I hear it... my mind goes right back to my days there.

Drove by Celery Flats.

OMG. Loss of so many old trees. The pavilion is in full sun.

The walking trails are going to be hot for a lot of years.

Schrams Greenhouses has a lot of damage to hoop houses. This was the first greenhouse / grower we shopped at after moving to Kalamazoo.

Schrams is for sale and likely will never be a greenhouse again. Likely just another restaurant -- one of many along this road.

Imagine some future society that comes across the Pioneer 10 plaque - with the human bodies on it...

... and they reject it as pornographic in their society.

I guess they'd fit right in, with some peoples of Earth. 😉

I wonder if this will result in cases in other states.

So intersections are still 4-way stops as electric crews work through Tornado damaged areas.

Unfortunately drivers have lost their minds and refuse to obey he 4-way stop rules... with 8, 10, or more cars rolling through in one location... before any of the other 3 locations can participate in the 4-way cycle.

SW Michigan is in the low maybe zone... low to no clouds early evening. Clouds filling in about midnight for rain early morning.

Just did a 2nd check for 5 minutes.

Clouds must be blocking... or it hasn't dropped this far south.

😠

@thezenlady

I can see what appears to be clear sky a few miles west... but nothing flashing/undulating at this point.

Checked online - best time would be midnight to 2am. I'm not staying up for that... given the cloud cover.

I've seen it on a few trips to U.P. before - so other than difference in intensity... I've seen it.

One site I saw was that it may be possible for all lower 48 to see it... but clouds covering most of east coast to mid-Atlantic. So maybe gulf coast states.

Checked the many webcams around Michigan.

None of them are picking up anything. Just a black sky and city lights... (that should be a lyric of a song... 😉 )

Alas - not to be...

Watching some of the after-tornado news videos...

Reporter standing in front of a business sign (that is out of view and above her head) - notes that she is near the "Su NOC o" station.

You might know it as the gas station known back in the day for selling 100 octane racing gas... normally pronounced as: Sun O co

As someone that learned by "sounding it out"... I get it... but this one, had me wondering until the camera panned up.

People don't know things... until they know things.

JohnJBurnsIII,
@JohnJBurnsIII@kzoo.to avatar

@thezenlady

Found it... no damage...

Relates to prior post about the Sunoco gas station sign that the reporter emphasized the wrong syllables.

Su Noc o
=== should be: Sun O co

The point was that the reporter likely did not know the name of the gas station (there are less of them now-a-days)... and chose to pronounce as viewed.

You don't know, what you don't know.
