One pothole too many. Hugging the shoulder to let a car pass, must have hit an asphalt chunk. X-rays show nothing broken. But that’s not how it feels. Bike came through better than I did, but the helmet is toast. [ Click Link to Enlarge Full Imagephoto] Please fix the roads. [See update on May 31, 2014]

Lock up your chickens – while gazing out the kitchen window this morning about 7 a.m. with a cup of coffee in hand, I watched a coyote trot through my backyard and nimbly search for breakfast in the woodpile.

Public elevator for the four-story downtown library is out-of-service indefinitely. Report at library board meeting indicates it will be several months before a new elevator is installed – maybe by August – and will cost about $100,000. [ Click Link to Enlarge Full Imagephoto]

Channel 2 was on the scene of this downed tree and the others. Backyards were being taped off east of this tree. Firefighters with chain saws were just beginning to work on it around 6 p.m. Lots of neighbors out and talk of power out in the area. A DTE worker said the Red Cross was on the scene and available if needed.

Dexter near Jackson Comments (0)
This was a near miss that did surprisingly little damage. The homeowner Geoff Robb talked over his fallen tree. They have a crushed air conditioner. The neighbors brand new car was not in the driveway and their damage was quickly tarped and not severe.
