The Northwest Angle of Minnesota is cut off from the United States, surrounded mostly by Lake of the Woods and separate from the rest of the state. The only way to get there by land is through Canada -- but the border is closed, cutting the town off from the thousands of tourists who flock there for world-class fishing every winter.
With things getting desperate, a bold move was made to plow a 30-mile ice road across the lake, giving tourism and commerce a route to the resorts. The road includes more than 22 miles across the frozen lake where the ice is about 2 feet thick.

I love the Copland music used in He Got Game.

Good Morning

TOD - the only 2 pieces by Copland that I know are "Ching a Ring Chaw" and "Stomp Your Foot" which I sang several times in choirs in my younger days.  Both remain favorite pieces of mine

Today is callbacks for Shrek - online, of course.  I'm kind of excited about the show.  I really like the score, but I don't like the lyrics. 

Today is 38 years ago that Karen Carpenter left us.  Never a day goes by that I don't listen to a Carpenters song.

At 11am, the clouds departed and there is sun. Today is the day it’s supposed to hit 82. Tomorrow’s high: 59.

Very interesting, DR singdaw. I happen to be fascinated with state boundaries and "how they got that way" -- which I vaguely recall was the name of a TV documentary series or some such which I always meant to get into. I must seek it out. Some boundaries, like that MN one, are absolutely bizarre. I hope there's a good story behind it.

And I never fail to be amazed that you can even have such a thing as an ice road, like in Alaska with the heaviest trucks anywhere going over them. Me, I'll take the ass-fault.

I could use some Starbucks.

I just remembered that I have a Starbuck's gift card that I haven't used yet.  Good thing they don't expire. :)

I have Shake Shack, Target, and Trader Joe's cards that are all over at least one year old, each, and thank goodness those don't expire either.

Thursday afternoon greetings!  We picked up groceries and a prescription at Kroger early this afternoon and I've been puttering at my desk for a while.

Until it's not.

A couple of basketball games I am interested in tonight.

And of course also Hell's Kitchen.

I spent some time on the telephone with Comcast - first with a robot technician.....of course what it did was not successful.  So I got a text to ask if I wanted to get a call.  I answered "Y E S".

Sierra called and did some more work which didn't help.  So she said she would put in a ticket and they would continue to work on their end......so far still no ONDemand service.
