That's Ashland county and bayfield county right? I hear y'all got snow already.

Hey man it'll get to like 70-80f in the first six feet on a 100°F day! Otherwise yes. I lived around lake superior nearly all my life and I have a sister who would regularly get nose bleeds from the huge temp swing in the levels of water.

Would be telling to know more about the person or people who wrote up that little bit. “Jesus is everywhere especially on this coin”.

He did say it was kind of, not that it was

While it never gets warm, you will get days when the top water blows in and makes it swimmable. I grew up in Duluth and have swam in soup many times.

Hope you enjoy both books.

No, Erie is a different lake.

I went kayaking on Superior off the coast of Wisconsin to the Porcupine Mountains in Michigan's UP a few years ago. The water was freakishly warm, something like 67-68 degrees. It was kind of eerie but really nice for a kayak trip

It surprised me that Greeks lived in peace during early Ottoman Era. Per article ottomans didn't bother as long as they paid their tax

I’m from Michigan originally. I saw it as mostly mundane as well. But then one time I was backpacking in the Porkies and we got to a beach and were sweaty. We took of our packs and stripped down to our shorts and waded in and I remember diving below the surface. The water like a chilled drink. Crystal clear so I could see the rocks. I’d been reading The Living Great Lakes and maybe that influenced me but it was just magical. I was a heartbeat away from graduating from MSU and getting married and getting my first real job. It was like this moment of childlike wonder before adult life began.

Especially when the gales of November come early.

India looked more like a continental empire than a nation. The "nation" description was glued on in an "if all you have is a hammer" fashion. Given that, no wonder it had such momentum. How the Mughals came to such a power vacuum has to be a fascinating story.

I'd also modify the Maslow to "if all you have is logistics...." for India.

There's a quote from John Robert Seely - "We seem, as it were, to have conquered and peopled half the world in a fit of absence of mind". I always took that as "we really didn't know what we were doing."

I was told Superior never gives up her dead

Southern shore we get a week or two a summer of nice water but you never know when

Jesus was a historical figure. The Bible is not the only document which mentions him. Also, most of his followers went to their deaths versus recanting their faith in Him as God incarnate -so they obviously weren't doing it as a prank, it was something they believed in fully. It is not logical to think that we measure something as important as time in relation to the life of someone who never existed.

I grew up on the Northern shores of Lake Superior. It never gets warm. Ever.

As far as lakes go, I've always felt it had an unforgiving presence. Probably because you often can't see the other side of it but also because it can get incredible rough on a stormy day.

I’ll put it on the list, right next to The Influence of Sea Power Upon History

It's so much more mundane when it's in your backyard but I bet it's like visiting the tropics or something in comparison

Yup, another person of Indian descent but never played the game. I did play a lot of Total War and one of the titles had Europe, India and North America in the 18th century. It was morbidly fun invading my country as the Brits and in a layer gameplay invading the Brit Isles as the Maratha Confederacy.
