My late grandfather-in-law had a grain elevator in Tolono, IL (near Champaign) and took this photo at one of President Eisenhower's "whistle stop" campaigns in 1952. The President is on the right and the other person is presumably passing out "I Like Ike" buttons to the crowd in Tolono.

The Mariners’ Church of Detroit chimed its bell 31 times today, the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. It rang 29 times in honor of the lost crew, one time to honor all sailors lost on the Great Lakes, and 1 more time to honor Gordon Lightfoot.

It's not so much the view OUT our window as it is the view that IS our window that I love this time of year.
