                      Directions to Michigan from Ohio:

                      Go north till you smell it, go west until you step in it.

                            21. You find 0 degrees "a little chilly."
                            It was 2 degrees out this morning. I went out to start my jeep with boxer shorts and a carhart coat on. When I came in side my wife asked what it was like out, I said "a little chilly," yeah, I'm from MICHIGAN!

                              Michigan state tree is an orange construction barrel and the state bird is a mosquito (sp?). I lived there all my life except for when in the military and the last 3 or so years since i moved here......cant see me moving back.
