Spring Training with the Detroit Tigers: 2009 Edition

Apparently, the long layoff from baseball has affected our bat speed, and we missed the opening of Spring Training 2009.   In 2008, the Detroit Tigers dropped like a fly ball at a peewee game. They began the long climb back to the top last week with spring training at Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, [...]

I can’t drive 55 (at least not on these roads)

The 55,000th photo was added to the Absolute Michigan group on Flickr yesterday. It’s titled MI snow by joojanta and is pretty darned appropriate for the snowy, snowy winter we’ve been having! As always, we are amazed and gratified at the fact that so many of you share photos of such great quality and diversity [...]
