“The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down, of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee. Superior they say, never gives up her dead, when the gales of November come early." On this day 44 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in Lake Superior. The 29 crew members sank with the freighter hauling iron ore.

Yes, we have the vultures. In fact there is a stretch of road not far from me that seems to be a gathering place for them. The road is between two farm pastures and then through a stand of woods. I don't know if they have a roost there or what, but I've seen the birds in that spot for years. There plus hovering over the countryside and my house looking for something to scavenge. I've never seen a nest tho.
