The Detroit Free Press had an interesting article on the number of times certain words were used in Governor Granholm's State of the State speech. Here is the breakdown:
And the two words most Michigan residents wanted to hear her say . . . I quit ;).
I remember seeing these as bumper stickers back in the 1980s. I believe this particular campaign began in the 1970s. At the same time there were also those bumper stickers with the phrase, "Will the last person in Michigan please turn out the lights."
It wasn't until years later (hey, I was just a kid) that I realized that this wasn't a promotion of Michigan, but a snarky comment about the exodus of Michigan residents due to the poor Michigan economy.
There was also that jingle they played on the radio and on television ads - Yes, Michigan!
It went something like - Yes, Michigan! The feeling's forever.
That's all I can remember. My only hope is that I have now made that song stuck in the head of each and every one of you who reads this post ;).
It's that time of the year again when it is a good idea to help out your local bird population by putting up a bird feeder. Not only to the little birdies get a pleasant winter treat, but you get the joy of seeing the variety of birds that come to your feeder. Our three year old loves seeing the bright red cardinals and blue jays. Around Christmas we built our own bird feeder and he helped paint it. He took great pride in seeing birds eat at "his" bird feeder.
You can get bird feeders, bird seed, field guides, nest boxes and more at Nottawa Wild Bird Supply in Nottawa, Michigan. If you can't make it down to Nottawa you can always order from their web site at www.NottawaWildBirdSupply.com.
Ernie Harwell will turn 90 years young on Friday, January 25th. How does he do it? Daily exercise, doesn't eat a lot of sugars and fats, and his mental attitude. Ernie is nearly three times my age and he gets more exercise than I do. That doesn't bode too well for my longevity. Guess I had better hit the treadmill tonight ;).
Anyway, Happy Birthday to a true gentleman, Ernie Harwell.
This title sounds like a Yooper-Specific Jeopardy category. Want to know more about Stormy Kromers, Yooper Scoopers (no, they aren't for cleaning up after your dog), and Nimrods? I created a few new pages to bring some great Yoopers and some ingenious products made up in the U.P.
I was passing through Three Rivers and the local Arby's had an unintentionally funny saying on their sign.
French Dip Subs. Oh lala!
Um yeah, I think that should read Ooh La La!
