people in books and tv shows are always getting so upset they throw an untouched meal in the trash. that would never be me. i'd receive the worst news of my life and still be like Let me put this in the fridge.

I'm not familiar with American geography, so the little thin threadlike patches of lands dividing the three lakes, are those accessible? Can people go across the lakes via those barely visible land bridges?

these?

those aren't land bridges, they're bridge bridges!

the southern one is the Mackinac Bridge, which is the longest suspension bridge in the western hemisphere.

it's fucking ENORMOUS. it's about 5 miles long and the deck is 200 feet over the water. the bridge towers are 550 feet tall.

it honestly breaks your brain a bit to look at it, but if you want to cross from Lower to Upper Michigan or vice versa, it's your only choice.

and the northern circle is the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge, which is just fine.

(it's pronounced "SOO saint marie")

it takes you to Canada from Upper Michigan if you want to go, so there's Customs at the end. bring your passport, and also your dog's passport.

and that's how we get around up here! if you need to go somewhere in the Great Lakes area and there's one of these big watery fucks in the way, you either take one of these bridges, hop onto a car or passenger ferry, or drive the long way round.

Remember to pause and notice the moments when you're feeling good.

It's natural for the bad moments to stand out brighter in your memory. It takes conscious effort to remember all the peaceful and joyful moments.

Everyone warns you agaist going to the supermarket hungry, but nobody tells you about the dangers of going there too full: I do not want any of these things, for I will never require any food at all!

Spent tonight at a local short film festival. One of the shorts was made by two 12 year olds in their backyard and it was the best short of the entire night
