The National Weather Service/Gaylord Facebook Page posted on their Facebook page that the above that looks like a tornado is a waterspout (a vortex of water off the lake) due to the lake effect on the snow near Peshawbestown, MI. Just add sharks and you have the premise for the next "Sharknado" movie.
While most people have their trees up for this year, if you are a Hello Kitty fan it is not to late to start planning for next year and here are a couple of trees for inspiration.
At least on a fella, like the ones below, it could be a little bit funny, but also not practical as it defeat the reason for wearing a sweater, to stay warm, but also the gross out factor if you have to be sitting across a dinner table for such a sight.
The one at the bottom at least the woman has used a sock and covers herself so not quite as bad, but to be a female with a decorated exposed breast is so L'il Kim 1999 MTV VMAish, Have seen the Mickey Mouse version of this on the internet so not original on decorating it to look like an animal either.
It is also a bit trashy and inappropriate, especially in light of the sexual harassment scandals in the news media. It will be hard to take a woman seriously that complains about being a sex object when she is proudly putting hers on display leaving little to the imagination. So if you feel the need to decorate your boob like a reindeer, consider the weather, consider boobs female or male could be viewed as offensive and opt for using a flesh toned fabric underneath to decorate instead.
From a distance it is harder to tell, but once you get close up (like the picture below) you can tell only one of the dogs is real. How long did it take you to spot the real dog in the video?
This year has seen a lot of eyebrow trends and now, just in time for the Holiday's are Christmas Tree Brows. While not practical for everyday, would be a fun look to pair with an gawdy Christmas sweater for an Ugly Christmas Sweater party.

This young acrobatic elf shows off his upper body strength and contortion-ism in this unique pole dance interpretation of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas". I think the part in the beginning where it looks like he was walking 360 degrees was pretty amazing and not something I have ever seen before.
An added bonus is the boy about 10 years old that stands up and looks around about halfway through like he is wondering "I thought it would be girls, where are the girls? as if he might have watched one too many episodes of "Jerry Springer".
Kids interpret things in their own way and a website I follow on Facebook posted this cute video by the Southland Christian Church where some children tell their interpretation of the Nativity and it is acted out by adults.
I love how they use the kids voices and how the adults act it out, but not sure how Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh became a purple hippo, a gallon a gallon of milk and Pampers and baby wipes, although all those things are things they have probably seen people bring as gifts when younger siblings are born.
For Christmas, you want to capture that special photo to put on the front of your Christmas Cards and of course, you want something unique and different.
Who would think that something you would normally throw away could be turned into an amazing art carving.
Jan Campbell stumbled across this back in 2014 when she was making a sandwich and was just reluctant to toss the pit and after taking it out of her pocket saw the orange pigment underneath and got the idea to try carving and letting it dry it and has been making Celtic looking sculptures.
This gem is from BuzzFeed Japan and features someone that creates cat portraits using pancake batter.
While I think it would be hard enough to do quickly enough is right side up so you could see it, you would have to create this drawing backwards and not being able to see it until you flipped it, which is what makes it truly amazing.
One time we took a neighbor boy who had always lived in the city to a Nativity scene and when he saw the gal playing Mary on the burro he said "Wow, that is a really big dog".
If you are a practical joker and having some city kids over for Thanksgiving that you might want to turn into vegetarians, you might want to try this "Pregnant Turkey" prank on them.
Like many gals I love all things glitter, I would have no problem with glitter clothing, glitter instead of clothing is not a trend bandwagon I will be jumping on. I see this more as something an entertainer or performer might wear or something you might see in a fashion show and you would have to be thin or great shape to pull off.
While men like think "Hubba Hubba, I can almost see gals naked all the time" if the trend went mainstream, but lets face it, it is more likely hairy 40-year-old fat guys that would paint it on themselves in support of their favorite football team.
At first, I thought this video would be a sweet video of a younger street dancer doing a few slow dance moves with an elderly woman to make her happy, but I am guessing by the woman's moves this was planned to stun and awe the audience, which it does.
You can't always judge a book by its cover. While the fella is doing the heavy lifting part, this granny executes difficult moves without flinching and I know I wouldn't have been this flexible even in my younger days so hats off to this woman.
Welcome to Day 31 of Countdown to Halloween. As I live in a cul-de-sac that has very few children I don't get Trick or Treaters so drove around and checked out the Trick or Treaters in nearby neighborhoods. One of the cleverest was a boy about 10 in DIY "Chuckie" Good Guy Doll like in the "Child's Play" movie holding his Princess little sister's hand.
While out I found a few more decorated houses that I thought I would share on this final day of Countdown to Halloween.

Hello and welcome to Day 30 of Countdown to Halloween.
Today's exhaustion is a due o pre-Halloween workouts; one by Mike Myers and on by a gal that calls herself Pamela Pupkin.
I am not sure which of these workouts might be scarier; Mike Myers getting ready for a stab-o-thon or the perky Millenial gal that looks like she talked her Mom and crazy Uncle Alan into being her backup dancers. I think he will be ok once they put his oxygen mask back on.

Hello and welcome to Day 29 of Countdown to Halloween.
Today's amusement is a video by Refinery29 recreating 100 years of Horror Movie Characters makeup transformation, but with very cheap wigs. Some of the transformations are a little basic, like the Jason mask and I always thought Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street was scarier than Jason and the transformation effect would have been greater than Jason. Some of the transformation more tedious, like the Mummy.
Which was your favorite? What character was not featured that you would have liked to have seen?

Hello and welcome to Day 28 of Countdown to Halloween.
From now until October 31st, Starbucks is selling a "Zombie" Frappuccino.
I drove by a store near my home and saw they were offering this and decided to give it a try.
It had pink whip on the top to simulate a brain, the drink is Green Caramel Apple frozen slushie and the "blood" that bleeds down into the drink is a Dark Mocha Drizzle.
I bought a large, which is a Grande (16 oz), and it cost $5.72 with tax, so it is not cheap.
The pink brain foam did not have any flavor, but I liked the Green Caramel Apple with the mix of Mocha. I enjoyed the drink, but a Grande is a little large on a cold Fall day and I would recommend either getting a Tall (12 oz) or a Short (8 oz.) unless it is warm where you live and you are very thirsty.
Hello and welcome to Day 25 of Countdown to Halloween.
Today's haunting is the story the original Irish Jack-O-Lanterns carved from turnips instead of pumpkins.
The video is one of many tales with this one spinning the tale of a man named Stingy Jack who invited the devil for a drink and tricked him and when Jacked died he lived in Purgatory as the was accepted in neither Heaven or Hell and the Devil gave Jack a coal to light his want and he carved out a turnip to carry it in to roam the Earth through eternity.
Wikipedia indicates it is believed the tradition originated in 18th Century Ireland and were made to represent supernatural beings and ward off evil spirits or represent Catholic souls in purgatory.
I have to admit they do look menacing, especially the one with bloody teeth carved in it.
Hello and welcome to Day 23 of Countdown to Halloween.

Hello and welcome to day 22 of Countdown to Halloween.
Yesterday in the city I live in they had there Annual Zombie walk. The first year there was around 50 people and I had heard on the news they were expecting around 10,000 and from what we could see, it did look like there were more people downtown for this event than for the Annual 3 Rivers Festival.
We arrived too late to find any good parking spots, but did find the above video on Youtube to that shows the Zombie Walk and we were able to snap a few pics driving around.
Here are the pics:
Only a ghoul or two in front of the Embassy Theater, but as I indicated in my post yesterday, it is allegedly haunted by a phantom that the employees believe to be a former stage manager.
Dr, Jekyll, I presume?
A zombie with Starbucks on the right; guess if you are undead you still need to have that caffeine fix.
Looks like we have a dead bride and perhaps a werewolf here.
Not everyone wanted to be the undead today; some dressed up as superheroes and children dressed in cute costumes. Today was all about the love of Halloween.
This is one of several streets downtown that were blocked off and this is to show how big this event was. There is a stage set up on this one and the Zombie Survival Guide indicated there were 27 different events going on during the day, from getting made up as zombie down by the library to children's activities in the day a showing of "Rocky Horror" at the Botanical Conservatory
Again, just because you are a zombie, doesn't mean you don't want to show off your classic car so there was also a car show any it looked live several cars were passing out candy to the kids.
More of the classic cars and zombies
Getting a Dr. Suessical balloon had made at one of the events not just for kids, looks like Grandpa found his spirit animal and its name is Red Hat Lady Latex.
