I'm sorry the weather is lousy up north, but it's not peaches down here sometimes. Daily afternoon storms and high heat/humidity in the summer gets old after awhile. We are heading into fire season, and if the wind blows just right, the smoke can be awful. Then there's poisonous things like the coral snake I killed last spring because it took up residence by my front door. Oh, and once in a while tropical storms or hurricanes come calling.
Have a great holiday!

OK, Michigan's turn! YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM MICHIGAN IF.....
1. You've never met any celebrities. 2. "Vacation" means going to Cedar Point. 3.. At least 1 member of your family disowns you the week of the Michigan/Michigan State game. 4. Half the change in your pocket is Canadian......eh! 5. You drive 86 mph on the highway and pass on the right. 6. Your idea of a traffic jam is 40 cars waiting to pass an orange barrel. 7. You know how to play (and pronounce) Euchre. 8. It's easy to get Vernor's ginger ale and Sanders hot fudge sauce, and Faygo pop 9. You know how to pronounce "Mackinac". 10. You've had to switch on the "heat" and the "A/C" in the same day. 11. You bake with SODA and drink a POP. 12. The movie "Escanaba in Da Moonlight" wasn't funny. You consider it a documentary. 13. Your little league game was snowed out. 14. The word "thumb" has geographical, rather than anatomical significance.
15. You show people where you grew up by pointing to a spot on your left hand. 16. Traveling coast-to-coast means driving from Port Huron to Muskegon. 17. You measure distance in minutes. 18. When giving directions, you refer to "A Michigan Left".
19. You know that Kalamazoo not only exists, but isn't that far from heck. 20. Your year has 2 seasons: Winter and Construction. 21. Home Depot on any Saturday is busier than toy stores at Christmas. 22. You know when it has rained because of the smell of worms. 23. Owning a Japanese car was a hangin' offense in your hometown. 24. You believe that "down south" means Toledo.

Hee Hee..!
Great pics, Folks!
I always thought that "Escanaba in Da Moonlight" was a fact of life in the U.P. (just North of Jerry's residence). What a movie! A "true" hunters guide of just how it's done! (Big Grin!) Happy New Year to you all!
