Her songs with Louis Armstrong were amazing.

“Coast Guard honoring Edmund Fitzgerald sinking 44 years ago”

I think they would honor the lives lost but the “sinking “?

Somebody should have punched that old cook in the mouth for jinxing them.

I’ve probably been to various places around Lake Superior at least two dozen times in my life.

I can’t ever remember a time when I looked out across the lake and didn’t get an eerie sense of foreboding.

A headline failure at the least.

I thought about making the joke, but thought it would be too tasteless. Good to see some have no such scruples.

:-P

Maybe if you'd look out across Lake Erie, you'd get a sense of superiority.

That happened to me the two times I went to San Francisco.

I’m sure you’re right. They called the storm that took the Andrea Gale “The Perfect Storm” but I’m not sure the Fitzgerald wasn’t in a prelude to that one. Just farther west. When you can’t see the shore it’s a crap shoot with Mother Nature. Sometimes even if you can see a shore.

LOL. Well done. What happens if I look out across Lake Titicaca?

The Lake Superior Marine Museum & Maritime Visitor Center in Duluth is worth visiting if you’re up that way. The Edmund Fitzgerald isn’t just a song up there.
