Friend left Florida for a ski trip in Colorado, where it topped out in the 90's the day he arrived. Meanwhile, we played beach vball in low 40's wind chills last night.

LOL - I've Spring Skied in Co when it was 70s at the bottom of the mountain and maybe 30 at the top. It still fun but you have to be off the mountain by about noon when the upper slopes turn into ice and the lower ones into lakes......

The history of the Great Lakes (on edit; shipping), which Toledo was a large part of, is really neat stuff. Not far from the Spicer plant on Bennett, on Phillips Ave, is the famous Mancy's Steakhouse. Captain McSorley of the Edmund Fitzgerald lived in Toledo in the off season and was a regular there as it was told.

But a pain in the ass at times. 

Grew up not far from there but never been to Mandy’s Steakhouse.  Shorty’s, their BBQ joint out by Franklin Park Mall, I’ve logged some time there.

Meanwhile here in the Old Dominion, I think we have left winter behind just in time for pollen season.

Mancy's was the high end place. If I remember right, there was a Rudy's Hot Dog on Sylvania not far from Mancy's. I don't think it's there now. Quick and nice little place, good food. I go through there every once in a while, and if I get close I go to Ideal Hot Dog on Alexis. Best Chili Mac on the planet.
