Saline Michigan Is a Place That Gets “Car People” (Year Round, as It Turns Out)

April 23, 2018
There are people who drive cars, and there are car people. Two weeks ago today during a very well attended SAE WCX World Congress Experience presentation at Cobo Center in Detroit, Alex Roy attempted to explain the difference to his audience. [1,2,3,4,5] What we drive says who we are, what people think of us …. In the past, we were ‘one with the machine.’ The future would have us be ‘none with the machine.’ Attendees ....

This Independence Day, Some Will Choose To Once Again Remember The Military Service Of Captain Daniel Throop

July 4, 2018
There’s a nondescript cemetery on the northeast corner where Judd Road ends at Saline-Milan Road. It isn’t clear if any particular place has been designated for visitor parking, nor, for that matter, if there’s much demand for one. In all the years that we’ve looked in on it, however, we’ve never found grass or grounds lacking in very attentive care. Quite matter-of-factly, a sign designates it as “Judd Cemetery,” further noting that it was formally ....

Ongoing coverage of novel coronavirus disease 2019 continues to feel like a story being told from a point that never quite starts from the beginning.
