The foliage is gorgeous in northern Michigan this weekend, and judging from the crowds and traffic, there are loads of people from downstate who are here enjoying the scenery along with us. Here's a photo I took this morning of the 18th hole of the Hawk's Eye golf course in Bellaire (where our condo is), the charming little village that's home to Shanty Creek and Schuss Mountain.
Yesterday was my birthday, which is one of the reasons we're up north. It's none of your business which birthday it was, but let's just say that if it weren't for the pitiful state of the economy, I'd have retirement in my sights within a decade or so. Sigh. Anyway, I've been doing some preliminary research on the World Trade Center's building and safety codes, my chosen topic for my English 505 paper, and am pleased to find that there's lots of information available. In addition to countless online articles, I found a half-dozen books that I was able to reserve at my local library. I'm looking forward to digging into the material and learning about the kinds of back-room deals that preceded the WTC's approval.
