Last night I drove by the wall of ice at Barker's Island to see how far it's come along.  Here's where it is at now, and click thru to see a comparison.

I was just having a conversation with a colleague about how important it is nowadays for city governments and officials to use social media competently.  It is how your community connects, and if you aren't tuned in you are not relevant.  I was happy to see that the recently sworn in Chief of Police in Superior, Nicholas Alexander, has created his own page to connect with the community.

Well, I'm hooked again.  Darn it smartphone!  You may have seen the ads on TV for Boom Beach?  What's it like?  Pretty awesome!

I've been in my share of rough landings, but nothing compares to these crosswind landings captured on video.  The planes look like paper airplanes!  See for yourself!

Cathy had a headache from the time she woke up this morning, so she decided to take an Advil during the morning show.  I've noticed in the past that everytime she tries to take a pill, she uses her searing hot coffee to wash it down.  Why not just go get a glass of water, and not burn your throat?   Well she's stubborn, so this time I caught it on video.

Nopeming Sanatorium, tucked in the trees of Thompson Hill, will be featured as a haunted place on this Saturday's episode of Travel Channel's 'Ghost Adventures'.  The Sanatorium originally was a hospital for people sick from tuberculosis.  Over the years it was used for different purposes.  Now it's privately owned and no trespassing signs are posted all over it.

Some of my family and friends have been going to Lake of The Woods near Baudette, MN for several years now on ice fishing trips.  I've been invited in the past, but due to conflicting schedules it hadn't worked out for me to go until this last weekend.   So I was a "first timer" and had never been up there before.  I didn't know what to expect, and it's pretty crazy!

Yeah, it's a long shot, but they really do look a lot like each other.   Just look at the photos!  They are about the same build, both are bald, they've never been spotted together (as far as I know).  Could it be?  Possibly?   Judge for yourself.

I started seeing the promos a while ago where this Irish dude would make this big ridiculous swords and test them out and sell them.  I thought it looked ridiculous.  My wife thought the same.  So naturally, when it came on TV last night we just had to watch.  And guess what?  It's ridiculous in a fun way.

History is pretty cool, and I love learning about local history.  The other day I had a chance to learn quite a bit of stuff, including a lot about this man.  Who was he?

Country music needs more strong female artists.  That's my opinion, and I know a few others that would agree with me.  Recently I was introduced to Kelsea Ballerini's video.  She's been starting to make a buzz, and maybe she's got what it takes.  But I want to know what YOU think!

Just a few days ago I posted a video showing the progress being made to the wall of ice at Barkers Festival Park in Superior Wisconsin.  Four days of below zero weather later, I figured I should stop by and snap a quick picture.  Here's where we are at.
