I actually showed this in a special segment on @clickondetroit! Here’s the link to it…

Yep…Michigan used to be near the equator under an ocean, where that coral lived. Then the continents drifted. When the glaciers carved out the Great Lakes, it broke up that fossilized coral, which now washes up on the Lake Michigan shoreline where I find them.
As opposed to tumbling, I do hand sand and polish. If you mean using my cabber (that’s what the thing is called) versus sandpaper, you are correct.
(12:00am Mon) A strong geomagnetic storm is in progress - northern lights have made down into Michigan! Here’s a photo posted on the Glendale App from Mackinaw City!
This is what I use. Each wheel from left to right is a progressively higher grit, and the thin white wheel on the far right is the one for polishing. Before I got this, I used 200 grit sandpaper, followed by 600 grit, followed by polishing with cerium oxide (polishing powder).
👍!
Sports talk radio kept going on about rain all day … nope. Maybe the game gets scraped by a little surge coming north now but it’s not the soggy situation portrayed just a few days ago. Frustrating for planning purposes. Did manage to get in 5 band shows across America where 2 showed total rain and lightning risk all day. 1 got delayed but finished and the other missed rain by less than a mile but no flashes. If I went by pure models my rec woulda been : don’t even hold these shows. Just gotta roll with it and stick to the mesoanalysis
Sometimes, these Petoskey stones take a LOT of work. But boy is it worth the extra effort. Found this one yesterday…ended up becoming one of the best patterns I’ve ever had. 😍
And here’s something most people don’t know: most climate scientists have actually been CONSERVATIVE over the years in communicating this science. There is actually a potential that some projections could end up worse than what they have been saying.
Spot on, Spence. I’ve been monitoring the rain potential for the Lions today in Charlotte, and the high-res models have been all over the place (and many of them incredibly wrong) on this rain pattern. It’s tough explaining this stuff to them!
I already said that I didn’t provide enough detail. That’s on me, not him. This is a clear attempt to suppress the teaching of a particular science due to political ideology. Now YOU can answer a question: what’s wrong with a climate change class being part of core curriculum? ➡️
I’ve noticed the exact same thing this year, Tony. Sometimes, I still see remarkable disagreement among the multiple high-res models on the day of an event…more so than I can ever remember.
Something is up with the weather computer modeling. It has not been good. Things were supposed to get better fast with the integration of AI, but that has not been the case over the last few years. And I'm not talking just one model or just the long-range modeling...all of it! Now this might be my perception only. Someone way smarter than me can actually 'run the numbers'. 😁 Even the model that I think has been the 'best' over the last year (Canadian GDPS), did not handle the Nor'Easter very well. It's time to go back to old school, gut feeling forecasting over the winter... ❄️🚂
Unlike you, I don’t have an idealogical shell. I simply follow the science and report what the science says. It’s very clear from your language that you ARE speaking through an idealogical lens. Freedom of speech allows you to support this attempt at science censorship.
NO I DIDN’T. I did not provide enough detail in my original tweet. That’s a BIG difference that you find convenient to ignore.
No amount of explanation will break you out of your ideological shell. Removing climate science from core curriculum classes means that students won’t get credit for the class toward their degree. It won’t count. So most students are therefore, unlikely to take the class. 🙄
