...and temperatures hit the 80's with months and months of warm weather to follow.

What's good in your life today?

Did you get any pics of the renovation-in-progress of the bridge by the Casino?

**heedus** · April-27-09, 01:51 PM

Thanks for the pics, Lowell.

we take pics every spring when the tulips come up in front of the Conservatory...we will be going this weekend, hopefully the tulips will still be standing, with all this wind and rain its questionable. I do love spring on the island

is the Fountian up and running yet?

HA!

[[You bring cynicism to a new level.)

I love the conservatory, by the way. Asked my wife to marry me there.

If you're wondering why I had to ask my *wife* to marry me, so am I.

Perfect ending to a summer in spring day. Tigers 4, Yankees 2.

You missed the acres of paved paradise for the wonderful fucking Grand Prix.

Not to mention the bridge on central ave that is perpetually unfinished. Got a lot of unfinished bridge business around these parts.

Yeah, things are great.

Life is a grindstone. Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us.

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.

That "paved paradise" will be used at least once a month for autocrosses by the clubs in the Detroit Council of Sports Car Clubs.Come on down and see what it's all about!

Don't forget, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum has two brand new exhibits which are due to open any day now... if they haven't already, plus the usual standby exhibits which are very informative and educational about all things Great Lakes. I know they've switched up many of the ship models on display, too. If you've never been or not recently, well worth checking it out.

Kensingtony, I saw them racing around the cones there the last two Saturdays. Perfect use for the space until we can the Grand Prix back to life. It looked like fun!
