Yikes, my backyard this morning. It was rainy and soggy yesterday but not so bad. Lake affect snow. We live about 30 miles south of Lake Erie as the crow flies. About 8 inches and should get a couple of more today. Nice and heavy and wet. Not to be expected for the first snow of the season. Live in NE Ohio, just wait ten minutes and the weather will change. Haven't started the snowblower yet. I guess it's on my to do list for today.

And if it blows don't put a penny in the hole to make it work, unless you want to burn down your house...

Don't waste a penny - put in a much bigger fuse to burn your house down and save that penny.

A Whale of a Time

For some unknown reason, a Humpback whale has been hanging out at the Alaskan village of Ketchikan for the last month. Reports that it has lifted the spirits of residents, whose tourism based economy has been savaged by the pandemic.

During Monday afternoon's rush hour, an unusual rescue was executed on the notorious Long Island Expressway in Queens NY. A swan landed on the highway's left lane, prompting a quick response by the Highway and Emergency Services units. They shut down the Expressway so that two NYPD officers could safely wrangle the swan into a cage for safe transport.

This post is about the "Mother Lode" of "Random Objects". Three days ago, a container ship called ONE APUS ran into a storm 1800 mile NW of Hawaii.
It suffered a "Stack Collapse", dumping at least 1900 containers into the ocean. This is the largest container loss in 12 years, and triple the worldwide total last year.
The Coast Guard has issued debris alerts for Hawaii. Should be a good year for beachcombers.

Edit: Backtracking to the nearest port, Kobe. ETA, 12-8.

I hope my Granddaughters Apple wasn’t on that ship!

I probably should not start on this. I have WAY too many random photos.

A newly discovered pic of a great grandmother. Adeline had nine kids with my great grandfather before he died at 30. She remarried and had five more. Her second husband was a widower with 10 kids already [emoji15]

My cousin is based there with the Coast Guard as a Marine Science Technician Petty Officer. She's gotta be loving that!

Is it just me or can you hear the theme music for Wanted, Dead or Alive" when you look at the photo?

Seems like the photo should have a caption.
