Seeking transportation choices

I'm on a mission. I've been asked, like everyone else, to vision what kind of place I want Northern Michigan to be like in 30 years. I'm realizing, I want a paradigm shift and to get there, I have to start today.

My new BLOG at My Wheels are Turningis not just about bike lanes or street safety. It's not just about crosswalks and sidewalks.

It is about the larger issue of what kind of place we… Continue

buying skis, ice skates and northern michigan dreams

There's not a lot of skiing along the Mason Dixon Line where I grew up and so I never had cause to buy skis as a kid. I did however have ice skates. After skating weekends on rented skates for years, I got to go to the very cool sporting goods store to pick out my Christmas present from my parents. Canadian blades. Scandinavian boots with a stacked leather heel. Creamy white, not the stark blue white of vinyl skates. They were amazing and expensive. My shoe size hadn't changed in years so it… Continue

Cations and Clay for gardening and bonsai--Master Gardener stuff (cations: say "cat-eye-onz")

Cations and Clay for gardening and bonsai--Master Gardener stuff

Dean Bull

Traverse City, Michigan

Clay: physical properties

Clay is made up of very tiny flakes—how tiny, you ask? Well they measure in ten-thousandths of an inch. The hairs on your head are about .002” thick (two thousandths of an inch). In other words, five hundred of your hairs lying side-by-side would measure one inch. If you took one of those hairs and cut it, you could scatter a… Continue

A New Year's Tradition Created 1~01~10 for Good Luck

New Year Traditions

As 2010 is upon us at the Korner Kottage Bed and Breakfast in Suttons Bay, it is a time of reflection of the many guests who have passed through our doors. It certainly is a magical experience having those chance encounters of "arriving as strangers but leaviing as friends" phenomenon, even after the briefest of stays. It takes a certain amount of trust on both parts, guest and inn keeper to make this a successful experience. But when you are lucky (or skilled… Continue
