Are people nuts?

Dude parasailing on Lake Michigan, Oct 1st

Pat and I had gone to the Lighthouse Outlet Mall in Michigan City, IN. last Saturday. It was a brisk day in northern Indiana. On Friday, September 30th, the winds had whipped the water up so that the beach had disappeared. Strong winds were still blowing on Saturday, as you can see by the white caps in the water. Also the water is not its normal blue tint, but rather greenish. That is from all of the churning.

If you are not familiar with the Great Lakes, you need to know that they are fresh water, but in all other aspects resemble the oceans. Rip tides are common, each lake is quite deep, and the winds that come down towards Chicago and northern Indiana can be fierce. So imagine my surprise at this man trying to para-sail. The air temperature was only 52, and I never did check what the wind chill was, but standing in the parking lot of this public park I was feeling the chill. Some people are dedicated. Some people are also nuts.

Of course, this gentleman might say the same thing about a woman who owns two dogs and scrapbooks. Whatever turns your crank.

Have a good weekend.
