Think this is how they are gonna pay to fix the roads, probably not. Regular back up to $3.69 Nessel Files for Emergency Shutdown of Enbridge’s Line 5 Pipeline Site Staff 05/17/2023 4:20 PM EDT Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel on Wednesday asked a Wisconsin federal court to take emergency action to protect Lake Superior from what she called an imminent threat posed by Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline. Nessel filed an amicus brief in support of an emergency motion filed last week by the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians of the Bad River Reservation. The rising waters of the Bad River near Superior, Wisconsin, have caused extreme erosion along the banks of the river and dramatically increased the likelihood that the Line 5 pipeline will rupture, Nessel said. In 2022, the court concluded that the presence of Line 5 on the Bad River Reservation constitutes a trespass, but the court did not order an immediate shutdown or rerouting of the pipeline. At that time, more than 30 feet of riverbank separated the pipeline from the water’s edge. If the pipeline ruptures, it will release oil and natural gas liquids into the Bad River, which flows directly into Lake Superior 16 miles downstream, Nessel said. The Bad River Band has asked the court to order an emergency shutdown of the pipeline, and Nessel’s brief today supports that request. “Lake Superior is a priceless natural and cultural resource and, like all the Great Lakes, it is vital to our way of life in Michigan,” Nessel said. “As attorney general, I owe a duty to the people of Michigan to protect all of Michigan’s waters, not only for us today, but also for future generations. I will always do everything in my power to protect the Great Lakes from the threat posed by those who care more about their bottom line than about Michigan’s residents and natural resources.”

Very sad indeed. It seems as if they were doing everything right, moving over for oncoming sleds. Condolences to the family

Back in the 70's, a friend and myself went to FL to visit some friends that we use to work with. We went to rent a vehicle for the week, guess what? They required a cc for deposit on the rental. I had enough money with me I probably could of bought the rental. My friend happened to have one and we used it. I made sure that once we got back I got one. Not saying you need to use it but sometimes you just need one.

I have no problem with early voting and absentee ballots. I do have a problem with who gets them. The sending out of applications for absentee ballots needs to be better controlled.

Your right absentee ballots have been available forever, BUT they need to have better control on who gets them. Not saying either D or R, it more of the lobbyist, but the same thing happened during mid terms as 2020. I personally seen applications for absentee ballots being sent to dead people, people who haven't lived at that residence for years, people who have never lived there and etc. You would think that those sending these out would have a better list of who and where to sent these applications to, but than again they don't care. Who's to say some one might just take these and request a ballot. I went and voted personally Tuesday and I live an a very small village (about 800). I had to present my ID twice while voting, once when I first walked in and another at the next station. Both of these individuals are retired school teachers (husband and wife) that taught all my kids, oh and did I mention they live 4 doors down from us. Before you had to have a reason to get a ballot, now they just hand them out like candy.

Thanks will have to check them out. I've always been a live type person. When listening to songs on the stereo or what ever method used, I'll pick a live version over a studio version every time, a lot of times I can just picture being at the venue.

When a song by Zac Brown comes on I either turn the station or turn the radio off. Does that count?

To be honest, I've seen all the bands I really wanted to see. My dad use to work part time at the IMA auditorium in Flint, MI during the late 60's and 70's. I use to go to every rock concert that they had there, then throw in Sherwood Forest out in Davision, Pine Knob and the Detroit area. There was always a concert somewhere to go. When I go to concerts now it's with my kids and we're seeing bands like The Lacs, Colt Ford, Demun Jones, Moonshine Bandits and etc. If I was to want to seen a band from the pass it would have to be Zep just because I'd want my kids to seen them. I've seen them twice, 73 at Cobo in Detroit and 77 at the Pontiac Silverdome. Another band would be Skynyrd for the same reason as above.

^^^^^ Use this on our sleds, Sparks, and pretty much anything

I've been to a lot and I mean a lot of concerts over the years, seen them all except the Beatles and Hendrix. Your right about the ticket prices mostly brought on by a shortage of tickets. Pick any venue and then subtract tickets for promo's (radio, etc), season ticket holders, fan club, the band and set up members and the list goes on, it doesn't leave a lot of tickets left for the public. My nephew usually had season tickets for Pine Knob (not now) but we went to see Kid Rock played there for 4 days, we went to each show. Getting back to Ac/Dc, I remember seeing them I think in 77 (not sure), but it was at the Capital Theater in Flint, MI. My dad use to work at the IMA Auditorium in Flint. I use go to all the events (concerts, car show, circus and etc) for free except any pay per view (fights) or banquets. I still go with my son and daughter to see concerts (The Lacs, Colt Ford, Upchurch, Demun Jones, etc) one in a while when they are in the area. I've always been a live music type of person, I'd really listen to a live version of a song then a studio if at all possible.

Thanks, that be the one

Ahh, The Tubes. Seen them a few times, once at the IMA Auditorium and another at Pine Knob. I had their 1st album (Self titled) at one time. Stupid me lent it out along with some others and never got them back. White Punks on Dope, Mondo Bondage Side tracking here, Back in the mid 70's, I use to go to Chicago every so often. There was a band from the area called the Detectives that I really liked. I bought their 1st album (also self titled) that disappeared with The Tubes. Recently I've been trying to find something about them with no luck. I was just wondering if anyone might of heard of them and have the album I'm talking about.

Right along with you on seen him, I'm 67 and still go to his shows.

Look at all the fraud in unemployment claims last year and you will have your answer on how he could of got his money.

We didn't have this problem until men started getting pregnant. lol
