    Howdy Neighbor!

    this message is coming from a very warm spot in Southern/Central Michigan, but since I can't tell where you are actually located in Michigan I am unable to discern wheter you are a Troll (lives under the bridge-Lower Peninsula), or a boy from Upstairs (lives above the bridge in the UP (Upper Peninsula)).

    But any who.....welcome aboard to HF...strap in, hold on tight, and enjoy the ride!

    you will notice that Canoebie prefers to call himself as a "Michiganian", but I prefer to call myself a "Michigander".

    Which is proper? Michiganian sounds less common, but Michigander sounds like someone who is looking at the State...

    And that my dear friends is a very good question.

    Rickxx...your first task is.....to determine what is the proper title for a person who hails from Michigan.


    BTW-Remember not to hurt Canoebie's feeling too badly. let the olde' boy down gently if you please.

    Welcome! What part of the State are you in? I'm usually in the state of confusion or irritation...
