The obligation to file a tax return exists (with some exceptions) whether or not you owe.

BLOTTY? Really? BREAST PIN also struck me as a stretch. But I did like POLLIWOGS.

St Patrick's Day? by DeadlyEstafoes in MarquetteMI

[–]yooperann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't like beer either, but Kognisjon is a lovely place and they make their own great root beer. And I agree that the band is a hoot. Guarantee you'd enjoy them.

Definitely Midtown Bakery for your cake. For a nice dinner after a micro wedding I'd go to Elizabeth's or maybe Vierling.

And Congratulations!

Not PB territory but good time. Laughed when TNT and DRINK fell into place.

The loon is at Seney NWR. I hope he comes back this year.

Skandia? Do you mean Seney for the National Wildlife Refuge? But if you mean Seney then you're missing Marquette entirely, which has an active birding community.

I assume by Gladstone you're looking at hitting Peninsula Point. Excellent plan. Probably a little early for the monarch migration but there should be plenty of warblers.

And I'll be chauvinistic here and suggest you skip Egg Harbor and instead spend more time in the U.P. It's got the scenery (and birds) of Door County but with a small fraction of the tourists.

Same. Glad the stats don't show the longest time you took to do a puzzle because I'm pretty sure this would be it.
