Beaver Island Michigan

Brought to you straight from westipedia!

Bucky Guy, I don't need to look it up. The old oak tree at the top of Frankie Lane and the Back Highway was one of my many favorites. Another was Alvin (and I love you Alvin) running for the board of directors of the BI Historical Society, not realizing his term as chair had not expired. Details oft...

Well said Grassmicks! There are not enough "thank yous" to show appreciation for all that Joe has done for our island. For now, let a "very, very happy, happy birthday" be our means of expressing appreciation.

Bucky Guy, You are correct that your father always used utmost discretion when printing humorous yet loving stories of island life. There is no one who loved his adopted island more than your father following in your mother's and grandmother's passion. As an example of discretion, I shared a story w...

I met Liz about twenty years ago when she returned to Beaver Island. A person you know you like at first encounter. So sad for her passing. We often talked about the hot air balloons over Albuquerque. I've flown of that city and the desert often with fond memories. Each time now that I see a hot air...

Walleyeguy, The "wave" should definitely do the trick. I've used it for years with no overt success but plenty of personal satisfaction. Speaking from experience, I would hold off on the "wave" until you pick up your package. Another thought is that maybe the gentleman at the cou...

With Whiskey Island being a protectorate of Beaver Island, I acclaim a rousing second to that "thank you" for the townships. Even though I continue hiding out in Havana until all is safe to return, I as the self appointed governing body of Whiskey Island, can report with absolute authority...

Batman, Woke up to beautiful sunshine in Havana along with a semi cloudy hangover. Ready to go to the market for lots of coffee and country fresh provisions but thought I would get on line first. My reply to your post last night was meant to be in support of your posted link. I may have misunderstoo...

There is nothing more sobering for enforcement at sea than to see a plank being installed on the starboard side.

You are right on Batman. It's people like him who will cause good business establishments and possibly the boat to get shut down by refusing to wear a mask and all because of crazy conspiracy theories along distorted facts. Thanks for sharing!

Doc, I always find your commentary interesting. As the Irish like to say, "Never let the facts get in the way of a good story". Joe Friday wasn't Irish.

Mr. Taylor, The depth of your humor is only exceeded by your generosity. Love the Mickey The Dunce question on the identity of Retired Chamber Guy. I'm sure it was meant to be rhetorical for those who may not know Retired Chamber Guy, AKA, Steve West now from the great state of South Carolina with s...

Mr. Taylor, Your generosity and good deeds are always appreciated with maybe the exception of Retired Chamber Guy. I know I don't need to tell a retired teacher whose wife is a retired teacher how important continuing education is for the youth of Beaver Island. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I fe...

Doc, From Dinghy, Tug and me, thank you for your dedicated service to BI for our pets as well as owners. Your PSA's are critical to everyone's good health and much appreciated by this old, one eyed pet loving pirate.
