Deadly Heat, Cars & Assholes

I went to Aldi, and there was a dog barking loudly inside of a hot car parked in the front, with the windows cracked open. I told the security guard who looked at it and did nothing. I told another employee who did nothing. So after a few more minutes, I called 911, and they transferred me to animal control, who was not answering. And finally, the guy came out, I told him he was going to kill that dog and he laughed and said he was only in the store for 15 minutes. It was 10:30am and already 90°F. The car was parked in full sun. What's my point? We all know what is right and what is wrong. We like to insist that police, teachers and OTHER people do the right thing. But maybe not enough people are willing to intervene themselves.

Too Hot

North Shore / Gunflint Trail Weather

It was 51° Fahrenheit and foggy in Grand Marais when we turned onto the Gunflint Trail. In no time, it was sunny and 85°F. The trail is the "driveway" to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. The Gunflint Trail is a 57 mile (92 kilometer) long, 2-lane road through some major wilderness. To go further, you need a canoe. Today, it was sunny and hot. Near the end of the trail, we visited, Chik-wauk Museum, and fished in Gull Lake. When we returned to Grand Marais, the fog was still there and it was 57°. It was a perfect chance to hike around Artist's Point, and fish in Lake Superior.

Sledding!!!

Sledding was fun, but the wind was nasty. I had the distance record, until my son beat it on the last run. I probably pushed him too hard... Ready! Record Marker He beat it by inches. Pro Tip: Always yell, "yay I win!" If you didn't win, it's still a good strategy in sledding or political elections!
