You know all you ...I am being nice to you damn it.<br /><br />You know all you have to say is, "I like your blog and I learn a lot here." But you don't you write a comment longer than my posts. <br /><br />I appreciate it, damn it.<br /><br />Hey Mike, Ohio people are strange, this is true. But as you can see Michigan people are all kinds of crazy.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10035409330352625930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31609037.post-88429485828974858432011-10-21T13:47:56.637-04:002011-10-21T13:47:56.637-04:00Yeah?

Then they reluctantly go back home and find their kids sick and their dogs well-fed. You cry on the way to Krogers with a loaf of bread already under each arm. Think of the starving children in Darfur and Michigan.<br /><br />I grew up in Michigan and remember trick or treating and dreaming of kids knocking on doors down in balmy Ohio, where rubber masks didn't freeze to your face and your bags of candy didn't drop pathetically in the driveways from your numb fingers. The people in the houses behind the frosty glass storm doors used to throw frozen peanut butter kisses at us and bounce them off our foreheads for comedy relief. The county used to take us poorer kids down to Detroit in schoolbuses on field trips during the winter riot season, just so we could get warm from the burning storefronts. Ohioans would spend the winters in Florida and we would hitchhike to Ohio, land of wonderment and full employment, and sleep in their vacant homes for a week of bliss on the shag carpets that permeated buckeye heaven.<br /><br />Oh, the stories I could tell. Like getting your eight year old rubber booted foot stuck down in an ice-fishing hole miles out on Lake Huron and getting it froze down in there and having your parents leave you there to toughen you up. But I won't tell you those stories, stories that pampered Ohio children never experience. Stories of Vernor's pop and New Era potato chips and Koegel's vienna franks and tongues frozen to Michigan railroad tracks. All the time dreaming, "Next year in Ohio" like the Jews used to dream of Jerusalem.<br /><br />Those were the days.Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31609037.post-90533271561447419082011-10-20T10:14:53.652-04:002011-10-20T10:14:53.652-04:00Thank you Carol, the oranges are delicious.
