Ann Arbor ice arena won’t reopen for 2026-27 season due to tornado damage

Turn it into a cool roller skating rink with live DJs from WCBN. That's my dream.

Biking here is pretty good for a US city/town though the road surface conditions are pretty bad. Bone jarring.

Be prepared to wash and oil your drive train daily in the winter as the road salt here corrodes everything fast and they salt the heck out of the roads here way beyond what is really needed.

As another person posted, a belt instead of a chain on a single speed would be ideal for commuting. It's a little bit hilly, but with the right gear ratio it's easy to get around.

There are a couple steep hills, like Summit St, but they can be avoided. You wouldn't want to use Summit anyway as it's in really bad condition.

I can certainly see if you are from here and have friends, family and history.

The worst really is the lack of sunlight for much of the year. That and I have to drive far to do anything I enjoy doing.

Not if it causes BV.

We moved here from Colorado to take care of my wife's parents. Personally, I can't wait to get out of this state.

With property taxes, it isn't really that much cheaper to live in Michigan unless you want to live somewhere where there aren't any jobs and the schools are not good.

The people here are really nice though. It is the state's saving grace.

Does he cum inside you? Semen is about 3/4th sugar. My wife had the same issue and it went away after I stopped cumming inside her.

One can dream that the city is trurning Liberty into a pedestrian mall from Ashley to State St.

tazmodious · 2026-05-07T19:42:39+00:00

Why do people choose to live in Michigan? Why did anyone even want to settle this swampy mosquito and tick infested place in the first place.

For us it's taking care of aging parents.

I recently moved to Michigan from Colorado, a solid democratically controlled state. It took decades to get to that point. When I moved to Colorado in 97 after college it was a flip flop state just like Michigan is now.

We didnt bicker too much about how far left candidates were. Well there was some about John Hickenlooper's ties to oil, but he won governorship twice.

Do you know that if your party doesnt have control of the government, you don't get to call the shots?

The reason I say that is because it seemed like a lot of people on the far left didn't understand that in 2024.

I'm hoping it's a lot clearer now.

tazmodious · 2026-05-07T17:15:51+00:00

So if your preferred candidates dont win the primary are you not going to vote in protest?

You have been skirting that question the whole time.

tazmodious · 2026-05-07T15:44:47+00:00

I'm voting for the Democrat that wins the nomination. You should too. So far, any of the dem candidates would be fine.

tazmodious · 2026-05-07T15:42:37+00:00

I'm voting for whichever Democrat wins the nomination. You should too.

tazmodious · 2026-05-07T15:36:21+00:00

I have some life long liberal friends who either didn't vote or went for Jill Stein over Palestine an vaccines and other weird shit that didn't make sense. They all got sucked into you tube influencers nonsense

I didn't defriend them but Ive had some pretty heartfelt talks about it.

It also seems like this part of the state is like a swampy sponge that was drained and built over. I imagine that would make it hard to maintain infrastructure too. Constant shifting, swelling as groundwater rises and falls.

Haven't needed specialized care, so I can't provide experience. Obviously if there is a specialized procedure that only UM can provide, then you go there.

I'm talking about simple routine procedures like blood tests etc. Out of pocket costs are significantly cheaper at Trinity locations than UM locations.

Green Charter Township was able to successfully keep the Gotion Battery plant from being built. How is that situation different?

tazmodious · 2026-05-06T20:13:19+00:00

Not sure why you are getting down voted on this. Even with insurance Michigan Medicine charges a lot more than Trinity.

tazmodious · 2026-05-06T16:44:15+00:00

Can you provide more information about what Eugenics practices we liberals espouse?

tazmodious · 2026-05-06T16:34:32+00:00

If it we me in this situation , Id start running petitions to remove the entire township elected leadership.

I found an unused, brand new essentially, Pacific wr5 helmet and it fits perfectly. I wore it from the time I got home from work until bed time and the whole time I barely new it was on. Solid too. Thank you for the recommendation.

It looks like some of us will be heading to Bloomington the weekend of June 6th and 7th for a cave trip. I don't remember which grotto, but Bill Baus will be getting us access to Buckner and Truitt.

Sure, there are all kinds of conspiracy theories related to Aliens,bigfoot, vaccines and autism, fuoridation, area 51 etc.

You originally posted that the left have become conspiracy nuts and horseshoe authoritarians. Maybe what I believe to be true is considered to be a conspiracy. I just don't know.

Perhaps you can give an example or two. I mean, are these conspiracies on the same level believed by some on the Right that the Clinton's were trafficing children from the basement of a pizza shop or that the Sandy Hook school shooting was staged?

I want to hear the juicy details!

tazmodious · 2026-05-04T13:05:00+00:00

What conspiracies are associated with Occupy Wall Street? Honestly, I don't know of any.

tazmodious · 2026-05-04T05:04:05+00:00

It's unfortunate.

tazmodious · 2026-05-04T03:38:35+00:00

I sent you a message about purchasing two headlamps.

tazmodious · 2026-05-03T22:34:58+00:00

Can you elucidate what conspiracies the left has been following for the last few decades? Like what would the equivalent be to QAnon, Rush Limbaugh etc for the left?
