FLASHBACK!! The crazy part is that it is all true! I'm still proud of myself for pulling a 20' boat behind our truck from Jackson to Sterling Heights. I was passing and changing lanes even! Whoohooo! I could've been a NASCAR driver. :o)

At least you can make a left in Michigan. Here in Jersey, our signaled intersections come with complete cloverleaf interchanges, called jughandles, so you have to wait for a light 3 times to make a simple U turn!

LOL. I like those left turns. Better than waiting half your life like we do in Los Angeles.

Funny, but sad. Bars on windows? I remember them from visiting my Uncle Chester when I was just a teenager in the '70s. Chester Bulgier was a staff reporter for the Detroit News, maybe some of you Detroit folks remember him.

LOL!
I got into an argument with my 8th. grade geography teacher about how you are suposed to say that. We argued for an hour over it, and every one in my class thought I was a fool cause I said Mackinaw, and I told the teacher that the map makers were wrong, and so was he. He of course was saying Mackinac. Fool. I was born in Michigan. What?!

Good girl Sarabelle.

In Harper Woods, Michigan, it is against the law to paint a sparrow and claim it's a parakeet.

My brother just sent me this joke:



A Japanese doctor says, "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him out looking for work in six weeks."

A German doctor says, "That's nothing. We can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him out looking for work in four weeks."

A British doctor says, "In my country medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have both of them out looking for work in two weeks."

The Canadian doctor, not to be outdone, interjected, "You guys are way behind. We took a woman with no brains, sent her to Michigan where she became Governor, and now half the state is out looking for work.

The only problem with that joke is that it ignores the fact that the governor before her, Engler (R), set this state up to fail no matter who took over. Two-Penny Jenny has had a rough go of it, but has done the best she can, considering the mess she was left with (Republican Scorched Earth Policy).
