Glass Map

A new art piece from San Francisco artist Klari Reis. I think it is a painting, but it looks like fused glass to me. At any rate, that blue section is our beloved Lake Michigan.

The Great Lakes Airline?

I flew Porter Airlines from Chicago to Toronto, and in addition to its general charms as an airline, and the fact that if you fly to Toronto you get to land on an island in a Great Lake, as you can see from the route map, it flies to destinations near each and every Great Lake. Maybe they don't think of themselves as the Great Lakes Airline, but I do!
