you know you’re a michigander/michiganian
when you use your hands as a map
to show where

yep
two hands
two peninsulas.

That’s really interesting, Beth. I had never heard of that before. It prompted me to look at a large map of Michigan.
Best wishes, Pete.

I have just realised how close Ann Arbor is to Detroit, and that Kalamazoo in in Michigan. I only know that town from the old song, and had no idea where it was.

Most definitely – every time someone asked me where our place is I point to a spot on my hand that is in the upper part of lower Michigan smack dab in the middle just a inch or two from the top of my middle finger. Grayling.
