So, here I am at McDonalds in Charlotte, Michigan. Now, if it weren’t for the internet I wouldn’t be here. Or, if it weren’t that I need the internet today as a part of my civic obligation, I wouldn’t be here. No it’s not this humble blog. If you live anywhere in Michigan you might … Read more

It hasn’t stopped raining since, and it rained almost every day in May before the gift. There have been 7/8 … Read more
