    You. Are. Shitting. Me.

    I suppose they just leave it on automatic and walk away? I doubt you're getting any doors open on that building (I'm assuming this is like the lighthouses on the OR coast - willing to be mistaken) or worse yet, frozen in. That is crazy nuts.

    Nope...it's. what it is...

    We live next to an inland sea- so when the wind blows so does the water....

    This was in late November/Early December (same lighthouse- 6 miles south of me.):

    As a note: No one without a death wish puts a boat in the water after the end of October... all the heavy iron shipping (think 1000 foot ships) stops in the beginning of November.

    Nothing goes on the Great Lakes until the second week of March.

    Yeah, I had forgotten all about that set of facts up there. Stuff we all learned of in grade school way back in the 20th century in the suburbs of Denver. And of course Charles' classic find of the Edmund Fitzgerald.


    Man, I gotta get a grip.

    ♫ The sailors all died and the women all cried cause they had to go on welfare and had no insurance ...
    ♫ The children wandered 'round town with no jobs to be found so they turned to drugs and pro-ahh-sti-tution ...

    I know, right? That was an old bit from a comedian who said that anytime you want to clear out a party that all you had to do was put on the song,
    Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and suddenly people would be tripping over each other trying to get out the door.

    Do they still ship iron and ferric oxide on the lakes ? I was under the impression most of the steel mills were shut down.

    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
