“The Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting #Ontario to #Michigan will open July 27, the #Canada’s federal government has confirmed.
The #Trump admin had blocked it until US got ‘compensated’ for its losses on a bridge wholly paid for by Canada.
#Ottawa will now ‘adjust the toll rate’ in USA’s favour.”

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🗺️🖊️ Jerry Gretzinger started doodling a #map of a fictional #city called Ukrania during breaks at a ball bearing factory in 1963.
Six decades later, he still works on it daily – following instructions from a custom deck of playing cards that tell him when to add #buildings, change #colors, or let parts dissolve into “the Void,” a collage of personal scraps. The map now spans thousands of hand-drawn panels.

Michigan Governor, Gretchen Whitmer, caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizens' opposition to AI data centres, and bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' and doing it anyway.🤣"
This is not an outlier btw, this is classic Democrat party behaviour.
This not so-secret Secret Garden is a real place and really looks like this. Located at The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, it is a special gem. Photo taken using iPhone 13 with no enhancements. We were knocked out!
They said this election season AI would mean you'd have no idea what is real.

"All Track Chair rides are free through the Friends program.
Visitors must make a reservation ahead of time so a Friends volunteer can be present to give instructions.
Rides depart daily and can be reserved for two-hour blocks.
Sleeping Bear has three all-terrain Track Chairs: the Mama Bear, Baby Bear and Platte Bear.
The chairs come in varying sizes with different supports."
Another from last night’s surprise sunset. It was really just a sliver of sunset beneath approaching storm clouds. In the wide-angle view I thought it looked like a comet streaking across the horizon.
Had I known the sunset was going to be this good I would have brought my big camera along. But I continue to be impressed with the photos I’m getting from my iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Captured in a photo: deep winter vibes (and despite how bright it looks it felt *cold* out there: 0 Fahrenheit with a stiff wind...). From Holland, Michigan: "Sunbreak in White".

It's easy to look forward to the lusher, greener days ahead when you live in a place like this, where the Midwest ends and the North begins...
A picture I took that, looking back on it, makes me want to return to Michigan's Upper Peninsula: "Falling Water".
