I am finishing up my workday, here in the Detroit area, around 10:00 pm, reading the posts of all of you, particularly Mick and harpgirl, and getting a tad homesick. I am closer to lake St.Clair geographically, than my home on Lake Huron, where for many years, I worked in an industry that relied on lake shipping. I ate many a meal on the likes of the Nicolet, The Sam Laud, the Buffalo, the American Republic, the Richard Reiss...and picked up tons of overtime dumping them full of Gypsum ore. I don't get too excited about the Lake Champlain thing...just one more(and frankly less egregious) scam than most, to grab the money. One of my "pals" from up north is a guy who writes and sings under the name Tom Canty, a bizarre guy, great talent great voice occasionally puts his band Shipwrecked back together, to play some bar gigs...gotta go, thanks for stirring my memory.
