First saltie of the season just sailed under the Lift Bridge! Here it is moments ago. Vibe with Mike says it’s the vessel’s first visit to Duluth. Vibe also tells me: -Ship is the Ocean7 Ranger -Built in 2005 -441 feet long -Heavy lift capable -Carrying project cargo from China


Details about the rescue op for the U.S. Weapon Systems Officer, via a U.S. military official: "The mountain top area on the left is where the WSO was hiding (he ejected 5ish miles northwest of there). The right area is the makeshift landing strip where they landed 2 C-130s and had 4 MH-6 Little Birds. "One Little Bird flew to that mountain top area and rescued the WSO and brought him back to the landing strip. And of course the two C-130s' nose gears got stuck in the dirt. So after a few hours they had to bring in three AFSOC Dash-8s to fly out the rescued WSO and the 100 or so personnel involved in the op." 1/2

No matter how hard I fall I’ll always get back up… one step at a time.


Anthony Edwards (knee), Jaden McDaniels (knee) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf) have all been ruled OUT for today’s game against Detroit. This will be the 6th game in a row Edwards has missed, 2nd in a row for Dosunmu, and McDaniels hurt his knee during the Wolves’ last game.
