Thereโs northern lights outside!!!!
Her nicknames for me were Byronius and Cock Ring. She once got a text alert from weather.com saying the northern lights were gonna be big… so that night I had to book flights and the next day we were there. When Gary had to pee on a plane she took him and a wee-wee pad into the lavatory and how they worked it out is one of life’s great mysteries. Most of my time with her involved me staring at her, wide-eyed and in blissful shock that one person could live a life so fully. We rode dog sleds in Canada, swam hot springs in Japan, pet koalas in Australia. That’s how she lived. Extraordinary. Brilliant. Hilarious. And generous! Not every assistant job is like that. I was with her for nearly 3 years. Every moment is a treasure, inspiration. I love this woman and will forever. She has been a force in my life from the moment I met her. To this day I think of her constantly. Every memory with her is bursting with color. I feel so lucky, you guys! So! Lucky! But, you know her, too. Because she was exactly the same in private as in public. Authentic. Honest. Real. A champion for mental health, veterans, feminism. She did anything for her family, loved her friends, embodied aliveness. I’ll miss her so, so much. – Byron Lane, Carrie’s former assistant

“I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show.”
Andrew Wyeth (American, 1917-2009)
They’re not strong enough they’d die in the cold like idiot boy Napoleon invading Russia in the winter
Fun fact: Ohio went to war with Michigan to try and claim the upper bit.
Not quite actually
Ohio wanted Toledo because it had access through the Great Lakes to the Atlantic which would give Ohio one of the westernmost seaports to the Atlantic which at the time would make Ohio an economic powerhouse
Then Michigan was like “we’re gonna be a state now” and wrote up the border to include the Toledo strip. “nuh uh that’s ours” said Ohio, which started the Toledo war, an unofficial war and official pissing match in which the only injury was a Michigan officer in a brawl with an Ohio officer who stabbed him with a pen knife.
Michigan’s Baby Boy govorner (seriously that was one of his titles, Stevens T. Mason was only 24) was a hot headed 24 year old and wouldn’t budge on the border. Finally, Andrew Jackson was like “children PLEASE”, and basically told Michigan that they had to give up the strip if they wanted to become a state. As compensation Michigan gained the Entire Upper Peninsula, because at the time the white man didn’t know that in that Horrible Cold Northland hid mountains full of iron and copper and turned out to be not so useless after all.
I’m from Michigan and I like history ok
