Kudos to CPKC

What a party. Had a WOOOO! time.

my bro and sis-in-law headed to huckleberry, and stopped in Ashley on the way there, saw PM1225 going woot woot

Glad you got some biking in, minus the rain

34-35 miles biked. Got caught in the rain the last 3-4 miles. Poured the last mile.

Just as it has for billions of years.

It’s the jellyfish that worry me

Australia isn’t a real place

stay away from Australia. stingers won’t eat you but just kill you. salt water crocs kill and eat. sharks are your least concern

nature doesn't usually adapt that quickly though. If the temps keep rising, I wouldn't doubt that a bull shark could live in lake Michigan in future years. Far sooner than their natural adaptation.

Live from KCUS. All day Xmas party

I’m not convinced. Nature can adapt.

Bull sharks couldn’t really deal with the winter temperatures in the Great Lakes, or the scarcity of food, but it’s possible that if one swam in, it could live for a while,” said Amber Peters, an assistant professor specializing in marine ecology in Michigan State’s Department of Fisheries and Wildlife.”

When I was swimming in Lake Michigan last September around the Petoskey Pier before sunrise I was thinking that Bull Sharks, who are very dangerous to humans, can live in fresh water and if one were to get in the Great Lakes it could probably survive and with my luck I would become the first Great Lake shark attack victim

And yes, in the murky waters you can’t help but think about sharks

There were dolphins too but they would swim by so fast that they were mostly just a blur.

Last time I was in Florida went snorkeling with manitees. Wasn’t the best day as visibility was only about 10’.

YAARR. Are you near someplace where you can go snorkeling?

Wow. Thats nutz

experiences > material goods for presents

We are heading back to airport at 11:40. So if I am going to walk I better get out there.

Sadly, I am missing it.

at least the weather in MI is pretty decent the last few days.

Those are harder to get than super bowl tickets I believe.

Florida Layovers are great in Decemeber. I traded two of them though. So I have this trip again next week and then something different the week after.

I had this trip 4 times this month.

Yes. Might walk the trail towards cypress point park instead of causeway.

awaken jetlink. two layovers in FL, nice. get some causeway walking in today

wakey

went to the casino with my bro, bounced machine to machine, never doing more than 2 pulls each. Put in $20, left with $72. Probably drank too much free pop, was very wired when I tried to sleep.

I feel efffective transit systems really need to be multi-modal.

Miami is pretty cool. The transit is Multi modal which makes sense. Tri-Rail, Bright line, Metro people mover. Couple of ferry’s and a water taxi.

Jeff L is too busy partying at Union Station to be #1 tonight

Live from Tampa

No Z. UnionStation I consider my home

Jeff L has kids in Kansas City, gotcha. makes sense now why you head out there often.

Hello Kansas City.......DADDY’S HOME

$2.77 credit sam’s other day. $3.49 credit corner station! 62 miles traveled since last fill. 17.1 gallons to full saved $12.31.

gas under $3 a gallon for those on regular unleaded. Not bad.

has started a new topic: Wolverine to Windsor and Cleveland (with DTW stop), general Amtrak Michigan service improvements

The seebum headed punk gets life no parole. Good, eff that little turd.

the miami shuttle thingy looks pretty useful. my company is downsizing their large corporate office out in northwest miami and moving closer to downtown into a slightly smaller footprint. I don't think they'll be in that shuttle area though.

got about 2 hours of biking in. biked around grandville for a bit. Right thigh was aching from yesterday’s hike, so took is easier than I was planning today. Just glad to get outside at least.

IOTW more useful than the one way circle the Detroit People Mover was stuck with.

Looked pricey and fancy but they also had a walk up take out counter and patio seating for us commoners.

Had a really tasty lunch at an argentinian barbecue place.

Also rode on the metro people mover.

3.96 miles from the hotel across some bride to the port of Miami and return.

Walky complete
