This Honda ‘Custom’ on Lansing Facebook Marketplace Is Surprisingly Street Legal
Facebook Marketplace can be a dumpster fire when it comes to finding something normal for sale. Sure, most of it's just basic furniture items, and little odds and ends.

Hell, I might even put in an offer.

Why Don Henley Chose Vince Gill to Relaunch Eagles
Vince Gill understands that a huge loss preceded his arrival in the Eagles lineup. It's something he's long lamented following the 2016 death of Eagles stalwart Glenn Frey. There's "just gratitude that I was the guy they decided would work," Gill said not long after joining the group. "Just that – because Glenn was a great friend, and in my heart of hearts I wish I wasn't doing it. That would mean Glenn would still be around, but life is what it is and you just go do what you can do because of what happens. Those songs deserve to live on as long as they can."

Originally, I sought to write an article about Michigan's beach-combing "Wall-E," affectionately referred to as "BeBot." BeBot (pictured below) autonomously roams Michigan's sandy coastlines, picking up litter left by its human creators. However, as fascinating as this is, I was left with one lingering question: If they can make a garbage-eating, beach-roaming robot, is there hope that someday we will be able to use a similar implement to handle Michigan's snow?
