    People are in a tizzy because VP Pence had a motorcade on Mackinac Island. Being a lowly Michigan expat, I can’t speak for anyone but me, but a couple things occur to me, especially since I am seeing this story in the Detroit papers and the NYT.

    First, this broken tradition is another casualty of liberals. My party wasn’t the one committing asault in the streets after the election, nor did we say to bring a gun to a knife fight. It’s too bad the motorcade was needed, but these unhinged liberals tried to murder a Republican at a baseball game. We can’t take any chances with these unhinged lunatics.

    Second, am I really expected to believe that prior to the VP’s visit, anyone at the NYT a) knew what Mackinac Island was, and b) could find it – or Michigan, for that matter – on a map?

      It’s a big nothing. Mackinac has police cars, ambulances and fire engines, not to mention an airport, with airplanes. In the winter, most of the horses are removed to the mainland, and snowmobiles are the main type of transportation.

      Police and military vehicles are exempt from the non-motor laws, and since the Secret Service insisted on protected motor transport, that seems to close the conversation.

        Amazing…even in the height of the anti-war movement, I never heard anyone talk this crazy against President Johnson. There were folks who were nuts when speaking about GWB, of course.

        If Odummer had gone to the Island and taken cars, we’d have gotten glowing stories about a “special exception” for his safety.

        And I still don’t think the staff at the NYT could find Michigan without Google. But they’re sure down for a tradition they knew nothing about until VP Pence happened along.

    Sonnet 73 (‘That time of year thou mayst in me behold’)
    William Shakespeare

    That time of year thou mayst in me behold
    When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
    Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
    Bare ruin’d choirs where late the sweet birds sang.
    In me thou seest the twilight of such day
    As after sunset fadeth in the west,
    Which by and by black night doth take away,
    Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.
    In me thou seest the glowing of such fire
    That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
    As the death-bed whereon it must expire,
    Consum’d by that which it was nourished by.
    This thou perceiv’st which makes thy love more strong,
    To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

    With all this talk about Fall here I had to snicker at my friend here in Central FL. She was telling me that she had found a warm robe when she went garage saleing over the weekend. It is to take with her when she goes “North” with another friend in a couple of weeks. Finally I said, “North? I thought you were going to Mississippi.” I will admit it is a little cooler there than it is here, 85* instead of 90* and a little cooler at night.

    lilbirdee12’s prayer:

    Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.

    Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.

    Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.

    Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
    Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.

    We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
    Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.

    In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

    A prayer for Justice Kavanaugh and Gen. Flynn:

    Prayer to St. Michael

    St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
    be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
    May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
    and do you, O prince of the heavenly host,
    by the power of God,
    thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits
    who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

    In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
