I lived in southern Michigan for a couple of years. Perhaps the best thing about it, to me, was the lakes. I believe they said there are lakes every three miles or so. Or was that seven miles? I no longer remember but it was nice and we spent a lot of time in them: Klinger Lake, Stone Lake... Humph. I gues I've forgotten the names of others.

In late summer they became blood warm and the only way for me to get fresh and cool was to hang my long hair out the window. (I wasn't driving!)
