Grand Rapids, Michigan Grand Rapidians attempt a ritual dance to appease Calder's - and the city's - enlarged heart. “I'm a sculptor and I'm feeling like death, as you would too if you'd just flown into Grand Rapids at some ungodly hour of the morning, only to discover that you can't check into your hotel room for another three hours. As you would too, if you were a sculptor — as I am.” Grand Rapids is a tight-knit Dutch community of mostly affluent Dutch Republicans (plus some recent riff-raff), located in Dutch West Michigan. The city is nicknamed "G.R." and is depicted on highway signs as Gd Rapids , Gd being an abbreviation of Grand, evidently. Gd Rapids is situated on Michigan's Gd River, atop several scenic and probably important Native American burial sites. History “There are no grand rapids in Grand Rapids, Michigan”~ Lyricists Marty Cooper and the Big Town Kazoos before stumbling onto a catchier tune about deer in Dearborn Alticor headquarters, formerly the Pantlind Hotel.

Dogs Don't Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving Packing all of your belongings into a U-Haul and then transporting them across several states is nearly as stressful and futile as trying to run away from lava in swim fins. I know this because my boyfriend Duncan and I moved from Montana to Oregon last month. But as harrowing as the move was for us, it was nothing compared to the confusion and insecurity our two dogs had to endure. Our first dog is - to put it delicately - simple-minded. When we started packing, the helper dog knew immediately that something was going on. When the soul-penetrating pathos she was beaming at me failed to prevent me from continuing to put things in boxes, the helper dog became increasingly alarmed. Unfortunately for the helper dog, it took us nearly a week to get everything packed up. But the simple dog seemed to enjoy the trip. Even though she threw up seven times. She actually seemed to like throwing up. But as far as the simple dog was concerned, it was the best, most exciting day of her life.
MyLifeIsAverage - Life is pretty normal today White Trash Repairs 101 Things in 1001 Days | Coffee Helps Some of you will remember my 101 Things to do in 1001 Days challenge, which I started way back at the start of 2009 in Estonia, and ended a few days before my 30th birthday last year. For those of you who don’t, the idea is that you come up with 101 things you want to do in the next 1001 days, and aim to check them all off your list. The goals must be specific, not vague – things that you can confidently check off the list as having completed. (For example – instead of “get fit”, find measurable ways of achieving that, like “go to the gym 3 times a week for 3 months”, or “go to an exercise class”.) Well, it’s time to do it again. I completed 84 of my original 101 challenges. I’m excited to be setting out on this challenge again, because it did amazing things for me last time. So, here we go! Travel, travel, travel. Take better care of myself. Keep learning, improving my general knowledge, and exercising my brain. Try new things. Enjoy life. Write more. Do things that scare me. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
