The internet connects people - with other people, with news, with information, with hobbies, with themselves. One way that that happens is through webcams. Over the years I've been a watcher of webcams, especially those at the Soo Locks and, more recently, the one high atop Harbor Tower Apartments in Escanaba. It's cool to look out over the Great Lakes and watch the ships come and go, to see the weather move east across the region, and to watch dusk spread west across the region. Even if the view out my window isn't always glamorous I can always find something interesting going on. As Chad says, it is like sittin' by the dock of the bay...electronically.
