and dear GOD the manure smell! every once in a while it wafts thru town taking your breath away.

that being said, we often drive from chicago.(when all's said and customs are done it's about the same 8 hours...). i don't really see much difference b/t the hellscapes of IL (chicago suburbs = 9th circle of hell), IN and southern ON.

in MI of course, the trees are just the right height.

General Hull in 1812: "The United States are sufficiently powerful to afford you every security consistent with their rights and your expectations. I tender you the invaluable blessings of Civil, Political, and Religious Liberty, and their necessary result, individual and general, prosperity"

Yeah, that didn't work out the way he intended,

Yep, we'll fight to keep him as a citizen as hard as we fought for Conrad Black.
