Congratulations to this guy for winning the inaugural Ore Cup and becoming the International Mineralogical Association's Ore mineral of the year!

Go copper metal, you might not be a sulfide mineral but you still rock.

Paws to Trail May 30, 2025

Today we drove out to Copper Harbor at the tip of the Keweenaw* Peninsula of Michigan's UP** As is our usual path, after Houghton/Hancock we turn left to the west side of the peninsula and FJ McClain State Park for a quick walk on the beach. Temps were quickly warming up inland, but it was nice and cool in the wind off the lake!

* It's pronounced KEY-win-ah, even though it's spelled keh-WEE-naw. If anyone knows why, we'd love to know!

** For those not familiar with local geography, UP = Upper Peninsula

Following up on my reporting from earlier this year, #MichiganTech again finds itself mired in controversy surrounding free speech after removing a professor from his class for criticizing a student event that featured hate speech targeting #lgbtqia groups.

A conservative backed organization that polices free speech on college campuses has entered the fray demanding the University uphold faculty rights to free expression.

Michigan Tech receives ultimatum from free speech watchdog after removing professor — Copper Beacon

An event to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall on Michigan Tech’s campus last month devolved into a billboard for hate which was defended as constitutionally protected free speech.
