This is Cup of 2 00:00:03,199 --> 00:00:08,019 Traverse City for the 12/23/2025. 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:09,059 I'm Mike, 4 00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:12,719 and, today is an extra coffee day for 5 00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:15,514 me. I tell you, a little hard getting 6 00:00:15,514 --> 00:00:17,214 started this morning. So 7 00:00:17,594 --> 00:00:18,894 let's start with the weather. 8 00:00:19,594 --> 00:00:22,875 Today is partly sunny. There's that word again. 9 00:00:22,875 --> 00:00:23,375 Sunny. 10 00:00:24,474 --> 00:00:24,974 Interesting. 11 00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:29,210 And a high near 40. Wow. Southwest winds, 12 00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:32,329 five to 10 miles per hour, becoming northwest 13 00:00:32,390 --> 00:00:33,289 in the afternoon. 14 00:00:34,149 --> 00:00:37,909 Mostly cloudy tonight with a low around 25. 15 00:00:37,909 --> 00:00:40,304 North winds, five to 10 miles per hour. 16 00:00:40,304 --> 00:00:42,945 And Wednesday, mostly cloudy with a high near 17 00:00:42,945 --> 00:00:43,844 36. 18 00:00:44,625 --> 00:00:48,304 Calm wind becoming south around five miles per 19 00:00:48,304 --> 00:00:49,284 hour. And, 20 00:00:49,905 --> 00:00:52,064 looks like Christmas day is gonna be mostly 21 00:00:52,064 --> 00:00:54,149 cloudy and up around 35, 22 00:00:54,149 --> 00:00:56,890 but, none of that four letter word that 23 00:00:57,509 --> 00:00:59,829 that a lot of people, talk about. But 24 00:00:59,829 --> 00:01:03,670 although Thursday night or Christmas night, it's supposed 25 00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:04,489 to have a little 26 00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:05,849 snow showers, 27 00:01:06,790 --> 00:01:07,930 at night. So 28 00:01:08,415 --> 00:01:11,795 it's coming back, but, for Christmas day, 29 00:01:12,174 --> 00:01:13,715 the driving will be easier. 30 00:01:15,055 --> 00:01:17,234 So I learned something this morning, 31 00:01:18,174 --> 00:01:20,034 perusing the news, and 32 00:01:20,655 --> 00:01:23,619 I didn't know this, but the Pavilions, which 33 00:01:23,619 --> 00:01:26,420 is that big nursing home, right next to 34 00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:26,920 Munson, 35 00:01:29,060 --> 00:01:30,200 that's county owned 36 00:01:30,579 --> 00:01:32,840 or city owned. I guess it's county. 37 00:01:34,715 --> 00:01:35,854 Yeah. It's county. 38 00:01:36,554 --> 00:01:39,435 But it just I didn't know that. Well, 39 00:01:39,435 --> 00:01:41,994 anyway, they, been having a lot of issues 40 00:01:41,994 --> 00:01:42,734 here lately. 41 00:01:43,594 --> 00:01:45,674 They've had a lot of turnover in the 42 00:01:45,674 --> 00:01:46,174 leadership, 43 00:01:47,194 --> 00:01:48,814 some financial trouble. 44 00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:50,130 They had a lawsuit, 45 00:01:51,230 --> 00:01:53,310 that they had to deal with. They've had 46 00:01:53,310 --> 00:01:55,549 trouble with staffing. So they got a lot 47 00:01:55,549 --> 00:01:56,210 of issues. 48 00:01:57,069 --> 00:01:58,109 And they, 49 00:01:58,750 --> 00:02:00,450 just hired a new CEO, 50 00:02:01,755 --> 00:02:05,055 and they're splitting up the CEO position 51 00:02:05,355 --> 00:02:09,455 with another position there in leadership. So, hopefully, 52 00:02:10,555 --> 00:02:11,115 it will, 53 00:02:12,155 --> 00:02:14,794 calm down. That's quite a nice facility for 54 00:02:14,794 --> 00:02:16,469 a county owner. I did like I said, 55 00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:18,389 I didn't know that. Maybe that was common 56 00:02:18,389 --> 00:02:19,530 knowledge, but 57 00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:21,689 interesting that 58 00:02:23,909 --> 00:02:26,650 they're trying to get their stuff together. I 59 00:02:26,790 --> 00:02:27,849 hope they succeed. 60 00:02:29,555 --> 00:02:29,875 You know, 61 00:02:30,594 --> 00:02:31,235 my grandfather, 62 00:02:32,514 --> 00:02:35,474 was in there, and, other family members have 63 00:02:35,474 --> 00:02:36,215 been in there, 64 00:02:36,995 --> 00:02:37,735 over the, 65 00:02:39,555 --> 00:02:40,935 you know, over the years. 66 00:02:41,314 --> 00:02:41,814 And 67 00:02:42,730 --> 00:02:45,450 they said they were, top notch back then. 68 00:02:45,450 --> 00:02:48,010 That was probably twenty years ago or twenty 69 00:02:48,010 --> 00:02:50,409 five years ago, whatever it was. So 70 00:02:50,810 --> 00:02:53,610 but, again, I didn't realize that was county 71 00:02:53,610 --> 00:02:55,770 owned. I I thought that was a private 72 00:02:55,770 --> 00:02:58,245 outfit because, you know, the facility is pretty 73 00:02:58,245 --> 00:02:58,745 nice. 74 00:02:59,125 --> 00:02:59,704 You know? 75 00:03:00,084 --> 00:03:02,405 And, of course, I'm showing my age, but, 76 00:03:02,644 --> 00:03:05,544 that's the new one because, there was another 77 00:03:06,084 --> 00:03:08,664 nursing home that looked more like a a 78 00:03:09,419 --> 00:03:10,879 block apartment building 79 00:03:11,579 --> 00:03:14,299 there, before. And I forget what that was 80 00:03:14,299 --> 00:03:16,000 called. It wasn't called the pavilions. 81 00:03:18,060 --> 00:03:20,079 Let's see how what did they, 82 00:03:21,099 --> 00:03:23,759 ended up, they got, like, a 180 83 00:03:24,284 --> 00:03:25,245 beds there and, 84 00:03:26,925 --> 00:03:27,425 several 85 00:03:29,965 --> 00:03:31,425 assisted living apartments. 86 00:03:32,685 --> 00:03:33,185 So, 87 00:03:33,564 --> 00:03:35,805 yeah, it's quite the facility. And I guess 88 00:03:35,805 --> 00:03:37,724 if you gotta go to a nursing home, 89 00:03:37,724 --> 00:03:39,824 that's not a bad place to go. 90 00:03:41,699 --> 00:03:43,860 But, yeah, I just didn't know it was 91 00:03:43,860 --> 00:03:44,760 county owned. 92 00:03:45,219 --> 00:03:45,719 But 93 00:03:46,099 --> 00:03:47,159 sounds like they're 94 00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:49,960 getting their stuff together. Like I said, 95 00:03:50,419 --> 00:03:51,560 the county commissioners 96 00:03:52,895 --> 00:03:56,175 ended up hiring that's the CEO and let 97 00:03:56,175 --> 00:03:58,034 me see if I can find their name. 98 00:03:59,295 --> 00:04:00,194 Daryl Lavender, 99 00:04:01,694 --> 00:04:03,795 he was hired this summer. 100 00:04:04,254 --> 00:04:04,995 And then 101 00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:07,879 the administrator, 102 00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:11,300 is another person, and they didn't name who 103 00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:13,539 that was. But, that used to be a 104 00:04:13,539 --> 00:04:14,039 combined 105 00:04:15,139 --> 00:04:18,120 role, and and it's probably too much for 106 00:04:18,675 --> 00:04:20,774 just one person. At least that's what they 107 00:04:21,634 --> 00:04:22,134 said. 108 00:04:22,834 --> 00:04:23,334 So, 109 00:04:24,035 --> 00:04:25,074 well, hopefully, they'll, 110 00:04:25,954 --> 00:04:27,654 they'll continue on. 111 00:04:28,355 --> 00:04:30,754 And, you know, of course, today is the 112 00:04:30,754 --> 00:04:33,490 the twenty third, so only a couple days 113 00:04:33,490 --> 00:04:36,470 left till the Christmas holiday. I hope everybody's 114 00:04:36,530 --> 00:04:38,870 having a good holiday season 115 00:04:39,490 --> 00:04:41,910 and has some good plans for 116 00:04:42,689 --> 00:04:46,290 Thursday. I will probably take Thursday off from 117 00:04:46,290 --> 00:04:48,514 the show, but maybe not. We'll see. 118 00:04:50,334 --> 00:04:52,574 I don't know. It's not, too difficult to 119 00:04:52,574 --> 00:04:55,394 do, so we'll just get her done. Anyway, 120 00:04:55,454 --> 00:04:56,995 everybody have a good 121 00:04:57,535 --> 00:05:00,274 day, and I will catch you tomorrow.
