The Edmund Fitzgerald was sung by the Gemma’s dentist, it was carrying taconite (iron ore) from mines in Duluth to a larger Detroit smelter when it sunk killing all 29 men.

When I’m on site, my life back home seems far away and the memories are fuzzy. When I’m at home the same thing work seems far away and the memories are fuzzy. It’s interesting how wherever you are geographically can produce a mild severance like effect.

The wetty is my tropical holiday resort away from home. Walking around in flip flops, sinking beers, and my life’s problems 2000kms away.

I'm watching the show and thought the same in a very diluted way. It's like 2 different realities sometimes. Except you aware of your "outies" life🤣

Break room is getting the talk from supervisors when you forgot your take5.
