    Everything about this story is absolutely absurd...

    Quoted: But it would be two days before the state of Michigan allowed Ratte's wife, U-M architecture professor Claire Zimmerman, to take their son home, and nearly a week before Ratte was permitted to move back into his own house.

      That poor little kid. Oh my goodness. Crying himself to sleep ... It's so sad!

      yikes. A little common sense for everyone involved would have done wonders, but it seems to be pretty much impossible to legislate common sense.

      i think this photo has been edited. when we were at comerica this weekend, i made an effort to look at each beer stand's sign and they all said "mike's hard lemonade" and "hard cranberry". now, maybe they did change every single vendor's sign since this happened, but i don't think they did.

    For those interested in wildly popular early-20th-c. barnstorming religious baseball teams, here's a dot for you.

    I was trying to work them into my faves league fantasy baseball team name, but Derek wisely limited names to 20 characters.

    Quoted: By 1920, the team was "barnstorming" around the country, earning money for the colony, and using the team as a way to preach to potential members.
