#ten thousand lakes of minnesota

[sohannabarberaesque]

And you thought Tom and Jerry's underwater ballet scene with Esther Williams in Dangerous When Wet (1951) was rather cool:

Picture Tom and Jerry "themselves" (the latter perhaps bringing his cousin Nibbles along) on a diver's holiday of sorts not far from where The Three Wolves are on diving holiday themselves up among the World-Renowned and Far-Famed Ten Thousand Lakes of Minnesota ... and for some reason, Tom goes into the old routine of chasing Jerry and Nibbles (otherwise on an innocent dive) underwater when, all of a sudden, Tom is at a loss for air, blue in the gills even, which has Jerry and Nibbles all the more amused.

As well as Loopy de Loop, Hokey Wolf and Mildew Wolf, themselves on a dive not that far off, and captures the hilarious consequences of Tom's attempted underwater attack on Jerry and Nibbles on their mobile phones with underwater housing--even uploading the whole online once they return to dry land.

Does Paul Bunyan count as a culture hero or is English speaking North America not old enough for that

Because according to tradition he invented lumberjacking, made the ten thousand lakes of Minnesota, the Mississippi River, the Grand Canyon, the Great Lakes, and some other natural landmarks. The folklore around this dude is extensive.

another female ancestors art find. we have thousands of slides like this from my late grandmother, my dad's mom. she never stepped foot in minnesota, but we inherited her old photographs. there's boxes of these and developed photos. we still have her camera from the fifties. she went to college, uncommon for women at the time, esp of her social standing. she kept geese, longhorns, snapping turtles, and mean little dogs- all were hell but the cattle, but they loved her and no one else. she gave me her violin, because our family always plays music. it was a big compliment- I was ten, couldn't play a damn thing for shit, and she thought I was smart enough for the violin. I wasn't lol, music gene skipped me, but it meant a lot to her and a lot to me that she gave it to me. she also gave me my first poetry books. she was smart as a whip and everyone always calls her mean. I don't think she was mean, so much as fed up, from what I remember of her. her husband ran a machine shop, but she insisted on running an antique store "in case he fudged it." she kept all the antiques when she retired.

my uncle bought he a rifle every holiday of the year for decades. my sister and I would stand and play "spot the rifle" when we visited as kids. incredibly texan child's game, for sure. my family acts like she was just a paranoid gun nut (which she was), but she also spent decades taking thousands of pictures of everything she thought beautiful. for every five family pictures she took, there's a good twenty of landscapes, of animals, of storefronts and scenery, that looked beautiful to her. photography wasn't cheap back then, and the pictures she took make me think back on my interactions with her, with the books she gave me. she gave me Tennyson, and, when I look at her photographs, I wonder if she thought of the Lake Isle of Innisfree. shed stare at her cattle for hours, looking at the live oaks and the small pond and tumbleweeds. she'd sit with a pile of disposable cameras when I was a kid and would snap random tree branches and flowers. I thought she was wasteful- it was the early 2000s, and it still wasn't the cheapest to develop disposables, especially on the same tree you see every day. I think I was missing the point

women's art, even if it's "mundane" as some landscape photographs, speak to their mental state. she liked looking at nature. she wanted to document it. she never took pictures of anything beyond the desert, the plains, the harsh, hot environment she grew up in. she liked reading poetry about it, so she handed down books. she liked animals that didn't like people, with her geese and snapping turtles, and took them into her home. there was something there that adored hostility, that loved the coarse, roughness of nature. but, of course, she was just a cranky old woman, a mother and a wife. not someone with a camera, looking at cacti and barren fields and seeing beauty.

A barn that housed tens of thousands of chickens on Forsman Farm in Howard Lake, Minnesota, one of the nation’s largest egg producers, was set aflame late Saturday night. According to Forsman Farms, which provides more than three million eggs to the largest retailers in the country, the cause of the fire remains a mystery…

Dr. Richard J. Stashevsky, 86, of Noblesville, finished his race and met his Savior Jesus Christ in heaven on December 21, 2022, while surrounded by members of his family.

Richard was born Ryszard Janusz Staszewski on January 10, 1936, in Warsaw, Poland to Janusz Staszewski and Lidia Szawielko.

Richard was 3 years old and living in Warsaw when Germany invaded Poland in 1939. He was wounded during the bombing, losing most of the sight in his left eye. Richard and his mother were separated from his father during the Nazi occupation. After the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, tens of thousands of Polish citizens were sent to Nazi concentration camps or to forced labor camps. Richard and his mother were among those and arrived at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in October, 1944 and were later transferred to a satellite camp for forced labor. In April, 1945, the British army liberated the camps. Between the end of WWII and 1949, Richard and his mother lived as refugees in Displaced Persons camps in Gottingen, Wattenstadt, and Braunschweig, Germany.

In 1949, Richard and his mother received a sponsorship to emigrate to the United States. They crossed the Atlantic by ship and arrived in Boston aboard the USAT General S. D. Sturgis. From there they traveled to Minnesota to work off the cost of their sponsorship. In 1950, they moved to Albion, Michigan where many other Polish and Russian immigrants had settled. Richard graduated from Albion High School in 1955 and on November 16, 1956, became a United States citizen.

Richard excelled in school and earned his BA and MA from Bob Jones University, his DD from Broadfording Bible Seminary, and an honorary LLD from Trinity College of the Bible. He never stopped learning and his collegiate record contained 262 earned credits from nine different colleges.

Richard married the love of his life, Beatrice Mae Sweet on July 30, 1960. In 1986, Beatrice was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and over the next 35 years, Richard would become her primary caregiver. He was with her as she completed her own journey home on December 16, 2021.

Richard loved young people and spent his vocational life as a teacher, principal, and school administrator. He began his career teaching elementary school for Northview Public Schools in Grand Rapids. After four years in the classroom, he transitioned to administration and served as the principal of East Oakview Elementary for the next seven years.

In 1972, Richard felt called by God to the ministry of Christian education. Over the next 34 years, Richard would lead Christian schools in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Virginia, Tennessee, Maryland, and Georgia. Students were positively impacted by his kindness, compassion, and unwavering love for Christ.

Richard enjoyed collecting stamps, playing and watching soccer, fishing, board games, playing the mandolin and harmonica, redecorating, and cooking.

He was most recently a member of Castleview Church and Prairie Lakes Health Campus.

Richard Stashevsky is survived by his children, David (Jennifer) Stashevsky, Susan Schulman, Joy (Russ) Wolfe, and MaryAnne (Ryan) Ashley; his sister, Nikki Slagle; 11 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his wife, Beatrice Stashevsky.

A celebration of life will be held on Monday, January 2, 2023 at Indiana Funeral Care in Indianapolis. Visitation will be from 11:00 am until the time of the service at 1:00 pm. Burial will be at Oaklawn Memorial Gardens on January 3.

Let the adventure begin!

Let's begin our adventure to north Minnesota. The land of ten thousand lakes. As we begin our adventure it is important that we are properly packet for 10 days of the unknown. We are traveling to north Minnesota and you never know what the weather holds in northern Minnesota. Typical Minnesota weather comes in a variety of stages, rain, sleet, snow, hot, warm, humid, stormy, and sunshine. You have to be fully prepared for all types. So let's hit the storage room and make sure we have all the stuff we need to pack our bags. The most important thing that we will need on this adventure for clothing will be rain suit, sweatshirt, long pants, rain boots and additional pieces of clothing that you would typical wear for the summer. Don't forget those swim trunks, it does get hot and we might need to take a dip in the lake to cool off. Bags are packed lets head to the vehicle and prepare our navigation for the trip.

During an on-air interview vis-a-vis The Banana Splits and Honey and Sis over the latter's surprise shortwave worldcaster

BINGO: I certainly can't help but recall that time you worldcast one of our concerts at the Rex Beach Casino, and the ensuing reaction by way of reception reports ... some 36 countries represented as having listened in! SIS: No doubt it was "some kind of a summer," to borrow from the songwriter there, back at Rex Beach, up among Minnesota's World-Renowned and Far-Famed Ten Thousand Lakes ... HONEY: And in the face of a pandemic scenario, come to think of it! FLEEGLE: Still, being the leader of The Banana Splits compels me to mention where this appearance at the Rex Beach Casino was one with seeking to redeem ourselves from that rather gross, tasteless and uncalled-for horror film treatment ... as well as help bring back an otherwise faltering summer resort as certainly needed it! DROOPER: You can say that again ... SNORKY: [Incessant honking] FLEEGLE: And just remember that "casino" in this context means "hall of amusement," with no gambling implied whatsoever! HONEY, with a touch of sarcasm: Thanks for the aide-memoire there! SIS: And I take it you're essentially on a Road Trip of Redemption from that horror film treatment ... so what exactly is that entailing? BINGO: Witness our rebuilt school bus transformed into a tour bus and mobile bivouac of sorts, otherwise known as "the CoolBus"! SIS: That we have to see ...

he Left hates oil and gas, beef (and chicken, and all meat), and coal. But millions of Americans don’t believe the hysterical Leftist claims that these things are destroying the planet. What to do about them? A number of suspicious recent incidents suggests that some people have decided to take matters into their own hands and force compliance with the green agenda by leaving us no other choice.

Belying his “Putin’s price hike” propaganda, Old Joe Biden suggested in late May that skyrocketing gas prices were all part of a plan: “Here’s the situation.  And when it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over.” Meanwhile, an April fire at the port of Benicia, California hampered gasoline production. A natural gas pipeline exploded in Michigan in March.

The ”incredible transition” seems to be taking other forms as well. After a boiler explosion at Shearer’s Foods in Hermiston, Oregon in February, the company laid off its employees. In March, there was a large fire at the Penobscot McCrum potato processing plant in Maine. In April, a private plane crashed into Gem State Processing, a potato processing plant in Idaho. A week later, another private plane crashed into the General Mills plant in Covington, Georgia.

That same month, there was a massive fire at the Taylor Farms food processing plant in Salinas, California. Also in April, the Dufur, Oregon headquarters of Azure Standard, a leading organic food distributor, was destroyed by fire, and another fire destroyed the East Conway Beef & Pork Meat Market in Conway, New Hampshire. Early in May, a chicken farm in Jones County, Mississippi was destroyed by fire. Saladino’s food processing plant in Fresno, California caught fire around the same time. A Walmart Fulfillment Center in Indiana caught fire in late May. Also in late May, a fire at Forsman Farms in Howard Lake, Minnesota killed tens of thousands of chickens. In mid-June, there was a huge fire at the Festive Foods pizza plant in Belmont, Wisconsin.

In Iowa in April, five million chickens were killed after discovery of a single case of avian flu. 22 million chickens have been killed nationwide in an attempt to contain the outbreak. Thousands of cattle died in Kansas in June; their deaths were blamed on the heat, but it was not an unusually hot month, and numerous people with farming experience were skeptical of the official explanation.

Meanwhile, on May 26, a coal train derailed near Gothenburg, Nebraska. On June 1, a train derailed near Lansing, Iowa, with ten coal cars leaving the tracks; the contents of one spilled into the Mississippi River. Another train derailed in Shiner, Texas on June 3, spilling coal in the center of the town. In British Columbia, yet another coal train derailed on June 18, spilling coal from fifteen rail cars. That same day, one more coal train derailed in Lawrence, Kansas, spilling a “large amount” of coal.

Maybe it’s all just a huge coincidence. Accidents do happen, and many of these incidents have been classified as just that, accidents, with no foul play suspected. The problem with that is the sheer number of these incidents (and this article doesn’t contain a complete list), as well as the fact that all these alleged accidents coincide perfectly with the bicycle-riding, bug-eating future the Left envisions for us. Whatever their cause, if these fires, derailments, and other odd incidents keep happening, we’ll have no choice but to go green and start chowing down on grasshoppers, because we’ll simply have no choice.

And when has the Left ever been interested in choice, aside from its vaunted “pro-choice” stand on abortion that doesn’t carry over to vaccines or anything else? Back in 2015, hardline Socialist Bernie Sanders declared: “You don’t necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants or of 18 different pairs of sneakers when children are hungry in this country.” George Orwell was yet again dead-on in 1984 when he envisioned a socialist dystopia that offered only one brand of everything (“Victory Cigarettes,” “Victory Gin,” etc.), all of it shoddy and poorly made. That was life in the Soviet Union and Maoist China, and that will be life in the United States if the Left gets its way. And with all these “accidents” happening, the Left is closer than ever to getting its way.

SO, this is still happening, if anyone is interested.

The Great Lakes Region, featuring New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Idaho, Wisconsin, and Minnesota has long been known as the most authentically American portion of America - far more so than states such as New Jersey or California.[1]

Our ambitious plan proposes the construction of an additional ten great lakes to expand the Great Lakes Region to include the states of Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona (with an optional Great Lake for Idaho - see Appendix A).  In keeping with the traditional Great Lakes Region, these lakes will be composed of fresh water, to be obtained over a 100 year period through the relocation of currently melting glaciers, ice sheets, and icebergs towed through the St. Lawrence Seaway (as well as mass-scale desalination), allowing a displacement of approximately 17,129 cubic kilometers of water.[2][3] 

In addition to increasing the authenticity of the new GLR2 Region, this achieves a variety of objectives.

Jobs program for distressed rural areas during the 100-year lake construction period, plus federal provisioning of relocation expenses for workers from West Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

Displacement of water from climate change, mitigating the effects of projected sea level rise on both developed and developing countries - projected savings for major coastal metropolitan areas including New York and Tokyo.

Improved energy economy for transport of goods over bodies of water (as compared to overland transport such as trucks or rail).

Moderation of continental climate, decreasing the heat of summer and the cold of winter, reducing air conditioning and heating costs.  Establishment of enhanced growing regions for fresh fruits and vegetables.

Constant cloud cover will limit coverage by enemy spy satellites.

End the depletion of underground aquifers as a source of water for industrial-scale agriculture.

Effectively guaranteed picturesque Christmas in new multi-state snow belt.

Creation of a coast-like region for enhanced urban and economic development - America goes from the possession of 2.75 coasts (East, West, South, existing GLR) to approximately 3.5 coasts.  The establishment of a new high-impact metropolitan super-region is expected to follow.

Mass forestation expected to act as carbon sink.

Increased equality of beach access; the addition of new fresh water beaches will ensure that this is no longer a luxury only for those on the existing coasts.

Expected thousands of cubic kilometers of excavated material should be sufficient increase altitude variety of Kansas as well as establish new chain of buffer islands to absorb hurricanes before reaching Texas and Louisiana and reinforce Florida with 2,000 kilometer system of earthen dikes and elevation increases.  Tourism is projected to increase by 137% in jurisdictions with buffer islands.

[1] "National-Weighted Moral Values Model," John Ohio (OSU), Journal of Ohio Science, Vol. 34, Feb 2009

[2] Initial program projections model lake excavation to an average depth of 35 meters in order to economize on construction costs, but this can be expanded for greater dihydrogen monoxide sequestration.

[3] This will require a fleet of approximately 196x 160-megawatt excavation vehicles operating continuously.  Infrastructure requirements suggest a high-density, low-carbon power source such as on-site (or possibly on-board) compact nuclear fission as the primary energy source to supply the necessary 31.3 gigawatts.
