Today's Quote (10-25-08):

"Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings in the rooms
of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams;
the islands and bays are for sportsmen.
And farther below Lake Ontario
takes in what Lake Erie can send her,
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know with the
Gales of November remembered.
- Gordon Lightfoot, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,"
"Summertime Dream" (1976)
(Commemoration of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior on November 10, 1975)
