Lake Michigan giving us some of it's Dirty Love while being the Roller Coaster of Love!  Can't complain about the water temperature though.  For that matter, can't complain about the air temperature or clear blue skies either.  Most importantly though - can't complain about the smell.  

Tonight's Killepitsch toast - Good Smelling Lake!  The adjective used to describe that good smell - "earthy".  That's not meant as a euphemism for dirty or uncouth.  Besides, what's wrong with being dirty?  None of us would be reading this, if it wasn't for dirt.  Can't live without it.  No dirt, no food.  Simple as that.  


Speaking of being dirty - just a little dirty - noticed something flesh colored on top of the southern steel barrier, with a little bit of sand on it.  Approached the object and discovered it was a mask that could cover your whole face.  First thought was maybe this belongs to one of those wiseguys who wears a Halloween mask to comply with the mask mandate (they exist but there aren't many of them)/  Second thought this must be the Phantom of the Opera's mask.  
That's it!  The Phantom of the Opera is There, Inside My Mind

The Phantom travels at will, carrying out its own agenda....
