Tigerspotting: Grosse Pointe Woods, MIThis

Night vision image captured of median on Vernier Road near Mack

Numerous wild animal sightings in the area have caught the imagination of residents. Coyote sightings often result in home owners restricting the bathroom habits of their dogs and cats.

However, these very real events could not have prepared local residents for the arrival of Tigers in their neighborhoods. Most recently spotted near the corner of Mack Avenue and Vernier Road, the tiger(s) seem to be lurking in the cover during dusk and dawn. If the photographic evidence captured by local residents waiting for the Bus are to be taken at face value, the tiger would appear to be an adolescent possibly in the 200 pound range.

"I guess the thing would have to be about four feet from nose to its rear. With the tail it is easily 6 feet long." Said long time Grosse Pointe Resident Eric Kam, "I saw it the other day as I went to the bus stop in front of A.H. Peters". The cat has again been sighted on the other side of Mack between the Mobil Station and the Library, in the median.

this is clearly a joke. lighten up.

Brewery Tour by Canoe: Boardman Lake, Traverse City, MI

Boardman Lake is smack-dab downtown in Traverse City, MI. Easily accessible from the lake are three, maybe even four breweries. Local kayak liveries have scheduled tours to kayak and bike to several local breweries and taprooms. So on this August Sunday, StringGrrl and I decided that we should make the tour ourselves. Coffee first! It would be irresponsible to embark on day drinking un-caffeinated Boardman Lake Trail Bridge and entry to the River There is a free public launch in Hull Park, just behind the Traverse Area Public Library. Parking adequate for up to 5 cars and up to 5 trucks with trailers, right near the launch and more parking elsewhere in the park made for an easy launch that morning. We paddled our way into the river first to have a coffee while drifting through town. Ideally, one should be able to portage the canoe past the dam and connect directly into Grand Traverse Bay, but construction near the dam made that portage just inconvenient enough that StringGrr...

Kyushu izakaya with Keysight (ESI) team in Shinjuku

Kyushu Netchuya, Shinjuku in the Nomura Building The team in Shinjuku Tokyo, in Japanese custom, very hospitably invited StringGrrl out for an Authentic Kyushu izakaya experience. We walked from the office to a nearby shopping area to visit the restaurants in the lower levels (Why can't we have such nice things in the USA?). Izakaya are casual Japanese pubs or taverns that serve drinks and a variety of small plates, similar to experiences with Tapas in Spain, the work teams will leave the office for a drink and meal of several tastes before embarking on sometimes long commutes home. Kyushu Island is home to Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Nagasaki, Oita, Saga, Miyazaki, Kagoshima, and Okinawa prefectures. It is the 3rd largest of the Japanese Islands and is the southernmost of the larger Japanese "mainland". Credited with being the "Birthplace of Ramen", where Tonkotsu Ramen was innovated as a novel new dish using Chinese Noodles in a Creamy Pork Bone broth. Hakata Gyoza,...
