75 Years Ago Today - The Blizzard of '47
Today marks 75 years since Milwaukee was buried under THE Blizzard - the epic Blizzard of '47: 18.1 inches of snow, which combined with 60 MPH winds that created ten foot high drifts of snow, effectively shutting this city down for two days.
From @milwaukeemag: "As the sun rose on Thursday morning, Milwaukeeans made extraordinary efforts to help neighbors and strangers alike, despite the weather.A dozen or more Milwaukee Ski Club members – men and women, some as young as teenagers – spread out over the city, responding to phone calls of sick or injured persons... At least three expectant mothers arrived at hospitals on sleds (and another eight mothers delivered babies at home, with doctors providing instructions to husbands over the phone). A pair of 14-year-old boys... found 34-year-old Gladys Friedland, partially paralyzed since birth, trapped in a streetcar at South 14th Street and National Avenue. She had been stuck for over 24 hours and needed to get back to her family home at North Third and West Clarke streets – some four miles away. Without hesitating, the boys carefully loaded her onto a sled and made the slow crawl towards her home. Two-and-a-half hours later, Friedland was reunited with her desperately worried family."

Points to Ponder about David Ortiz the "Hall of Famer"- and I'm no Bonds Fan
#DavidOrtiz career OBP: .380.
#BarryBonds career OBP if you turned all 762 of his home runs into outs: .384.
Annnnnd this is why baseball journalists have no reason being the voting bloc of the HOF. i don't mind Ortiz getting in (ok, I do, a little) as much as I think it's BONKERS that he gets in while Clemens and Bonds sit out "because of steroids" when Ortiz was confirmed to have tested positive!!!! At least the shunning of Arod is ethically consistent, if a bag of horses$$t.

Wouldn't it Tho?
It’d be grand if people who consume creative media daily stopped pretending like there is no market for the work. - YaYa
