You picked a great weekend for it. What town?
ReplyDeleteAre you on the real North shore in most glorious Canada or the lesser "North" Western shore in Minnesota ...
ReplyDeleteI'm also curious what town (I grew up on the most northen shore of Superior).
ReplyDeleteGrand Marais. In Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteDeal with it, Canada!
Pfft

ReplyDeleteGood luck finding a shop for Free Comic Book Day tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteIs that tomorrow? It's been lame the last couple years anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt is tomorrow. A local shop to us does a nice job of making it fun, with kids crafts and local comics artists and a free raffle and food truck, but I agree, the free comics themselves have been pretty crappy the past few years.

ReplyDeleteIn the land of 10,000 lakes are most properties lake adjacent? Asking for a friend.
ReplyDeleteJason 2nd Class, no, but it's never a long drive. Except to Grand Marais, then it's 4 1/2 hours.
ReplyDeleteJason Bossert There are many, yes. But most are not. Most places are within easy driving distance... at least where I grew up anyway
ReplyDeleteWell we’re good ol boys // we come from the north shore // drinkers and carousers // the like you’ve never seen.
ReplyDeleteCasey G. That's so cool! Love the house inside.
ReplyDeleteChris Hussey Casey G. it is clearly the Western shore and not the Northern. The minnewegians even made a song about their experiences immigrating to Minnesota from Norway on that very matter.

I grew up just over the border from there! That is some beautiful country.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the North shore of the lake to me. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/7olgQfAPJzqwqBqXyDqJBqCb2Onp54uYlrI9I-YLlqZDVcOdgl_Woy7QPpfWiKrsQuA4KlWsP30
ReplyDeleteThis is the most Minnesota/Canadian argument I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteIt's glorious. Please do pro/con of milk in bags next, please.
HA!!
ReplyDeleteWait, pro/con? There's no con, man. People not putting milk in bags are just doing it wrong.
ReplyDeleteThere are SOME con's, lets be real. Like when a bag gets punctured while it's in the fridge and not yet in the container and then there's milk everywhere.
ReplyDelete(a) We have a frame in our fridge that holds bags: it's like a corn crib for bags. It works.
ReplyDelete(b) The only time we have ever had a punctured bag incident, it would have nuked a carton, too. (It might not have nuked a tetra-pak, because jeez, those things are durable...)
So, yeah, I acknowledge the point, but for me it falls into the class of sometimes life just happens, and by then, the bags have more than made for it in value.
True, one of the pro's of bags is that when you drink out of the container it's kinda like a bewb.
ReplyDeleteI can't really follow the boob thing, but I've always wondered this: If milk in bags is so great, why aren't all beverages sold this way? Like, why aren't there bags of Coke and Water and so on?
ReplyDeleteI think the best way to answer that is, "Because milk isn't a beverage; it's a staple."
ReplyDeleteI do wonder about all the excess plastic waste generated by milk bags. Waxed cardboard cartons will eventually decompose...

ReplyDeleteJohn Aegard -- I grew up in a family that had a re-use cycle. When you use milk bags, you first wash them and put them away for re-use as sandwich bags and so on. When your re-use pile is too large, you recycle the plastic. (But, I have to admit, I don't honestly know if that cycle is net-positive more than cardboard; I've been led to believe that the only thing better than the re-use/recycle with plastic is with metal, not paper or glass, but maybe that's not true.)
ReplyDeleteAlso, and holy crap have we hijacked Casey G.'s thread. Sorry, man.
ReplyDeleteHere are some things I saw at an old resort near the border. Enjoy, Canadians.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Ad25foWpjHImSkLW6_LowvGUn8m13upxJPPpDj8W2MVLcqfo-QzJijzSfZc4lz5GsfNdA3Bc1xs
