In this episode I return to Benton Harbor, Michigan and explore a chapter from the works of James Pender in 1915 on the early days of lumbering in that city. The tales include stories of the lumber mills, street fighting and the hermit who supposedly hid a stash of gold.

Things are coming to a close for Doug and his friends — it's been a long and strange journey for everyone! Now, after all the changes — the ingratiating new age retreat and their piles of tech corporation cash, missing pets and people, packs of rabid and feral dogs roaming the island, children living out in the woods, and everything else — things seem to have calmed. But, as ever on Sternum Island, things aren't ever what they seem…If you'd like to get a complete copy of APOCALYPSE ROCK you can buy the audiobook through Audible (CA/UK/US) and the ebook on Kindle (CA/UK/US)

Happy Fastivus! On this date in 2001, the original The Fast and the Furious hit theaters, changing the world forever. Eighteen-and-a-half years later, we hopped on board. Today, we mark the release of the original movie's release by celebrating Fastivus, coined by @ReactionRocket, with a reading of original poetry (written by Wes Hampton) and unveiling the inductees into the 2 Fast 2 Forever Hall of Fame from our fourth annual ballot. You can find the text to Wes's poem below, and you can find more information about the 2 Fast 2 Forever Hall of Fame on a website I've been meaning to make for three years, but haven't gotten around to yet. The Last Quarter Mile 1. Nose on nose on narrow strip of 2. White where wills are weighed against one another. 3. Exhaust exhales, escaping chrome. 4. Heartbeats hasten, hammering chests. 5. But eyes show ease; even tempers. 6. A past, perplexing yet proudly proclaimed 7. Of victories varying and verily won. 8. A fraction, one fourth of a mile flying from 9. This crossroad's conception comes complete at the tracks. 10. Now the signal shines brightly a scarlet of waiting. 11. On green will these galloping greats let loose. 12. Knuckles tight, knitted brows, nerves stretched to the breaking. 13. This battle will brook no breath be released 14. As time slows its trek, ticking seconds to hours. 15. Vivid viridescence vaults synapses alive! 16. Feet are forced down, fingers pull back, 17. Engines engage employing explosions. 18. Lumbering leviathans lurch to life 19. In a scream of smoke and salient fear. 20. Transmissions tear, transferring gears. 21. Tachometers turn too quick to track. 22. Speedometers soar sending squeals through the streets. 23. Drivers dive headlong determined and dangerous 24. As a whistle whines out warning of danger ahead: 25. A train telling tales of tragedy impending. 26. Suddenly something is smoking but stopping is not an option. 27. Gas is given and ground is gained, 28. NOS needed now never more urgent. 29. A pressed switch pulses plumes of potent potential, 30. Finds fuel in the furnace and forces all further ahead. 31. The cross bar cracked by cars desperate and crazed. 32. Both break their way barely brushing with death. 33. A respite relaxes these rare racing rogues, 34. But smiles soon sour sidelined by another. 35. Toretto turns tightly but this truck is his fate 36. Sending him sailing somersaulting overhead, 37. The deafening din defining defeat. 38. The crunching and crashing is followed by concern. 39. Brian comes beckoning bellows for Dom. 40. Dom's desperate breath delaying reply. 41. Removed from the wreck relief turns to worry 42. As sirens sing songs of certain incarceration. 43. Glances are given and grievances muddied 44. Replaced by resignation for one; regret for the other. 45. Keys are clutched upheld offering compensation long promised. 46. The question is quickly answered quieting any response, 47. “A debt is doubtless owed and determined am I to pay it.” 48. Without a word the wounded warrior turns 49. And flees forever fearing to stop. 50. While the buster has broken from the law but bought his soul with a car.

Hell hath no fury like a Dili scorned, a lesson that a certain German bank learned when they attempted to overcharge our erstwhile co-host. Luckily for Nic, he owns his own bank, which certainly seems to help. We also discuss adventures in the Bavarian Wald, and whether observing German traditions is vital to living here. The price of ice cream has become a major talking point in the German media, and as experts in eating various scoops of the sweet stuff, Dili & Nic breakdown why. Why are prices increasing so dramatically, and is the price of an Eiskugel a good way to measure annual price inflation?We also turn our attention to the debate raging over government plans to phase out gas and oil heating systems across Germany. Is the anger over the proposed law warranted, and how feasible is it to make people change the way they heat their homes? Ice Cream articles mentioned on the show:Und plötzlich kostet eine Kugel Eis locker zwei EuroKostet Eis heute wirklich so viel mehr?War die Kugel Eis früher wirklich günstiger?For those of you looking to support Ukraine or the many refugees currently fleeing the conflict, please take a look at these different charities and consider donating if you can.Ukraine Crisis Media Centre - A list of different donation pages to help the Ukrainian military response.Disaster Emergency Committee - Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal Save the ChildrenÄrzte ohne GrenzenImage CreditPhoto by Abby Savage on UnsplashTheme tune courtesy of Kloß mit Soß

Lumbering beast lurch. Sickness attacks a bright soul. The Band finds the truth.

In this episode, Lexman talks to David Patterson about boilerplate writing. They discuss how to avoid coming across as apart from your audience, and how to make yourself seem more like a valuable resource. They also chat about the film Maars, and the plesiosaur therein.

Episode 36: As I noted in the last episode one of the really interesting aspects of Chief Ranger Peter Thomson's first Algonquin Park report, was the almost nonchalant way he described the fact that the newly constructed dam at Tea Lake was expected to raise the water level by nearly four feet.  In this first of two episodes on the Gilmour's great lumbering misadventure, I wanted to give you a sense of what the Oxtongue River-South Tea-Canoe-Joe and Smoke Lakes area looked like in the pre-Gilmour time and share why the Gilmour and Company lumber operations built South Tea Lake dam in the first place. In addition to my own research for many of my books and other podcasts, most of the content comes from a few key sources including: When Giants Fall – The Gilmour Quest for Algonquin Pine by GARY LONG & RANDY WHITEMAN Algonquin Park's Moat Little Town of Big Dreams by Mary L. Garland Raven Article: Our Eyes are Dim, We cannot See August, 2003 Remaking the Tea-Smoke-Canoe Lake Landscape 14,2003 Vol. 44 No 9  Algonquin Wildlife Lessons in Survival by Norm Quinn The musical interlude is called Paddle and Portage.

All of the Solitudes collection can be found where ever you get your streaming music such as Apple Music or Spottily amongst others.  

Our podcast episode today will be a little different. Instead of focusing on a specific topic, place, or person, we are going to do a broad episode to cover the history of lumbering in the area. Lumbering was vital to the development of the area and Michigan as a whole, and on today's episode we are going to explain exactly how lumbering was done. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/patrick-horn/support

"The Father of the Beer" (per his current official title) himself -- Milo resident, brewery groundskeeper, chief recycler, retired forester, former Director of Baxter State Park, AND father of Peter and Noah -- JENSEN BISSELL makes his long-awaited introduction to the podcasting world. Despite being the most convenient guest in Graining In history, this episode spans the country, five decades, two industries, and multiple emotions. Proper grandpa stories are sprinkled throughout (surprisingly interesting, even for a son) conversations on forestry and spending an entire career within it; the risk, future, and timeless pull of the great outdoors; the "Dad-Eye View" on the early days of BBB and the Donner Party of beer canning; and importantly, the many opportunities brought on when you simply believe in yourself. You will learn (likely quite a bit), laugh (lumber ziplines, anyone?), and most certainly want to get outside... So what are you waiting for? ............... .................... .................. Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill

There are aspects of humanity which the CIA doesn't understand, which the plutocrats can't control, which the manipulators can't anticipate. Something is brewing here, and we're almost at the boiling point. I don't know if it will be enough to save us from all the existential hurdles our species faces in the near future; I just know that we are rapidly becoming a conscious species, and consciousness and dysfunction cannot coexist. We won't need to wait long to find out which one wins out. Reading by Tim Foley. Article with links and sources: https://caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/humanity-is-sloppily-awkwardly-lumbering

Thanks for listening! We are still working out the audio (sorry, I know it’s been a lot.)We’ve been getting Persian food after we record and it’s great. What a fantastic weekly tradition, I recommend it!

This week we have two short tales from the Upper Thumb of Michigan. The first is about the famous, and sacred landmark called White Rock. It was a landmark used by Native Americans for 100's of years in Lake Huron and has an interesting history today. The second is about the Michigan Salt production industry when the state led the nation in refined salt production. So sit back, relax, and enjoy our stories from the End of the Road in Michigan.

The 20th President of the United States, James Garfield, did not build or own this 1850s landmark Inn in Port Austin, Michigan. But he was a rather frequent visitor. The fascinating history of the Inn really resides with the family that built the house, Charles and Maria Learned.

Roland Emmerich has wrought a lot of horrible things, but Universal Soldier (1992) isn’t the worst of those things. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good, but it’s definitely not horrible. Alas, we had plenty to talk about in this episode. Lots of conjecture. We did use some language on this one. It would probably be safe to […]

Lumbering late Tsarist Russia and international finance? Is there anything there?  The Bolsheviks and finance? How can there be anything there?   It turns out that the answer to both questions is yes.  In Dr. Hassan Malik's meticulously researched new book, Bankers and Bolsheviks: International Finance and the Russian Revolution (Princeton University Press, 2018), the Tsarist government's relationship to foreign investors, mostly French bondholders, becomes a lens to judge the efficacy of Sergei Witte, Russia's reformist finance minister and, briefly, prime minister, in the early 20th century.  The same approach is applied on the eve of World War I where the state of international investment in Russia provides a perspective on the existing debate as to whether Russia was on the road to recovery or revolution when World War I broke out. During the war and in 1917, Western bankers generally seem indifferent to the risks that are emerging from Russia. Indeed, an American bank, the forerunner to Citibank, was opening up branches in Russia in late 1917 as the Bolsheviks were taking power. Soviet Russia's repudiation of its Western debts now seems like an obvious and inevitable outcome, but Malik documents how it came about and the debates among the Bolsheviks as to how to handle Russia's government debt. Beyond students of Russian history, readers interested in how governments can fail, and how risk can appear in a financial system thought stable and safe will find this book of great interest. Daniel Peris is Senior Vice President at Federated Investors in Pittsburgh.

This is a poem I wrote, also in 2009, using a chance method. As quickly as I could, I scribbled words and phrases that came to mind onto note-cards and tossed them into a pile on the floor. When I'd gone through a sufficiently sizable number of cards, I picked up the pile, shuffled them, and flopped them face down onto a table. Then I grabbed an four sided die from a Dungeons & Dragons game, rolled it for every card in the pile, and wrote the number that came up onto the back of the card. Then I flipped the stack over and copied the words or phrases on each card the number of times indicted on the back of the card onto a piece of paper. The "cheating" happened when I decided to manipulate a few of the random outcomes, just a teeny, tiny bit. (It's my game, and I can break the rules if I want to!!!) And, for the recording of this piece, because of the disjointed nature of the word flow, I thought the perfect vehicle would, again, be the synthetic voice. Oh, what fun! "Blindfold, Shuffle, Roll the Die (and Cheat)" ... Hot. So hot. Rules the Earth. Rules the Earth. Rules the Earth. Rules the Earth. Blip. Blip. I don't know why I wanted it. But I got it.
