Holy shit, I almost missed that it's Great Lakes Awareness Day. Be aware!

You probably thought I was going to throw a four-chord Gord song at you, but my money is on Stan Roger's gorgeous White Squall:

https://youtu.be/uQ4ddAgykfk?feature=shared

"But I told that kid a hundred times Don’t take the Lakes for granted
They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted.
But tonight some red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall
And her lover’s gone into a white squall"
