Nine is not a sacrosanct number As we all know, there are nine judges (“Justices”) who sit on the United States Supreme Court. Most people assume that this has always been true, but in fact the number of judges has fluctuated several times over the years.
The Two Harbors Girls Summer Recreation Soccer team participated in the competitive Lake Superior Open Tournament on June 24 - 26 in Duluth. They played games against Gitchi Gummi, Minnetonka, and Mahtomedi including a decent 1-3 loss versus Gitchi Gummi and a very close 0-1 battle versus Mahtomedi. We were overall very satisfied with the results as a lot of girls haven’t competed at this level before.

Livable Pockets and Landscapes A few weeks ago while picking up my oldest son at his apartment in the “Cities” for a weekend trout fishing trip, I noticed a small, shady pocket of yard between two buildings that seemed vacant, neglected, and sickly. Maybe ten feet across, with bare ground and a few non-native plants, it was one of millions of such places located in built-up, urban, suburban, and small town locales everywhere.
Bristol Bay sockeye salmon season, Naknek, Alaska It’s July and the dead salmon are starting to show up along the high tide lines on the beaches and that draws in the brown bears from miles around. It’s like a buffet line for the animals and they simply mosey along feeding their way up or down the riverbank, somewhat oblivious to fishermen or any other human being that might be near their path.
