WORD OF THE DAY: Heterodox A synonym of both unorthodox and unconventional, heterodox describes something, such an idea or belief, that is contrary to or different from an acknowledged standard, a traditional form, or an established religion. Heterodox can also describe a person or group that holds unorthodox opinions or doctrines. In a sentence: // The columnist’s heterodox opinions on everything from dietary trends to the tax code made her a frequent lightning rod for criticism by the newspaper’s more old-fashioned readership.

Now, to wrap up for this Beaver Island Thursday… |

Here’s a thought for the day “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
On a lighter note Why did the snowman buy a bag of carrots? He wanted to pick his nose.
