More than 20 vehicles were damaged in Cape Ann, Massachusetts, with drivers' windows and mirrors being cracked. The suspect was described as "18 to 24 inches tall, wearing black and white with a red hat.”

On 14th Street in NCY. Oh, the irony.

Some photos from this afternoon's Marche Nain Rouge in Detroit. I couldn't tell if it was Halloween in March, Mardi Gras or a bacchanalia.

@bluebarronphoto.bsky.social Roddy Gale? Pretty funny!

Steve Alford nightmares just went to dreams!

The purest distillation of the Trump School of Economic Thought.

Rooting hard for the Used Car Lot Academy to beat the University of Spoiled Children.

One of the things I enjoy about shooting University of Michigan hockey games is how close I am to the action. There may be better seats at Yost, but nobody is closer. Hi, guys!

It's quiet now.

Tesla's honey pot could dry up if President-elect Trump rolls back Biden-era regulations.

My office for the next couple of hours.

It's quiet now...

Holy cats! I found a Yellow-billed Loon in Lake St. Clair this morning.

Wait. I have to *work* today?

DOINK!!!

Happy New Year! I am looking forward to seeing many of you in Ann Arbor on "real" New Year's Day, Aug. 30. Go Blue.

What the hell am I supposed to do with this?
