I thought we might be neighbors. I read your post in the "Nicknames" forum saying you like to get away to northern Michigan. I'm actually living in Lake Orion now. My brother used to live in Flushing, but has since moved to Charlotte. We used to go a bar downtown, the name of which escapes me. I want to say it was the Iron Horse Bar or something like that. I could be way off, though!

Normal is a relative term. For some reason it is not a term my relatives use to describe me.
I think I answered this way back at the beginning of this thread, but just realized that I have a picture of exactly where I am. There are two large yellowish buildings, I am in the one to the left, right in the center of the photo.

Yes, I forgot to say that picture is where I work. The picture is sort of looking off in the direction of the little town I live in though, located in those hills off in the background, about twenty kilometers west of the plant.
Only two seasons here, wet and dry, and we just entered the dry season which everyone here calls summer.
Just emailed some to ya, where's my twinkie? They don't sell those here and the last ones I had were in June when a friend of mine brought a box which we all fought over.

Here's another picture from the same hill looking out towards the Bay.

Sorry no Iron Horse Bar here.

From Feb. 14th thru 16th I'm going to Tahquamenon Falls for a winter tent camping trip. (These are the falls that are behind me in my profile picture.) Last years trip we had temps that got down to -28* at night and no higher than -5* during the day. Looks like it could be a little warmer this year. And only a few skeeters.
I was born in Dublin, Ohio and grew up in Chicago, Illinois (or close enough to it, anyway), so I am a "yankee" through and through. Going to college in Kentucky has been an experience . . . Southerners are certainly a breed apart!
