By 8:30 a.m., John Schoen, a ComEd spokesman, said crews had gotten to about half the calls, with power already restored to some 20,000 customers.

“I haven’t heard that it’s done, so I’m pretty careful talking about somebody else’s player other than I know the kind of year he’s having.

Let’s get this out of the way: The lake can be cold. You snap on a pair of water shoes on a warm summer day and step gingerly into the clear Lake Superior waters of Madeline Island’s Big Bay. Edging ever deeper, though, is a process. You inhale sharply with every step, advancing to your waist, your chest, your shoulders — and finally, full submersion. But once your body adjusts to the shock, the feeling is completely invigorating. Curative. As summer vacation returns with a vengeance, the Midwest’s best beaches will provide a no-frills escape this year. These aren’t the Gulf Stream waters, and this certainly isn’t the Caribbean.
