Good morning Northern Michigan!

Does anyone else still cut their plastic rings with a pair of scissors? Been doing this since I was a kid because of a public service announcement that showed a duck tangled up in one So It became a lifelong habit for me.

No tangled ducks on my watch 👍

We are looking at another gorgeous August day. Can’t beat it with a stick

Quote of the day is from Bud Holland:

Golden sun in smokey skies,
Warmth and water fill my eyes.
Dreams take flight on breezy air,
With August mojo everywhere

What is on your agenda?
