It's the anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, an event
that led Gordon Lightfoot to pen the "American Pie" of shipwreck
songs.

Lightfoot apparently recovered from his surgery and coma and went on to
record a new album. Does anyone know what his ailment was...it sure was

I don't know what happened to Lightfoot, but love his toons. Besides
originally being from the north shore of Superior it is one lake I would
recommend staying close to port. For me, I would rather do the triangle.
