Default love the people from michigan

i had a brain cramp yesterday and my cell phone fell out of the cart on the way to golf time. when i got home, i had a message from a wonderful lady named connie from michigan. she had found the phone, and as luck would have it, they lived just around the corner. i called the return number that was left, they were on the way home and would drop the phone off. i offered a small token of appreciation, but she refused. good people live here and i just met two more of them. thank you, connie.

..And you aint just whistling Dixie. Some of the nicest people on the planet live here. Come to think of it, that's the main reason this is one of the nicest places on the planet.

Hurray for Connie!

One hour to tip-off. Michigan State University vs University Of Michigan should be a good one!

Hey: I just have to point out that this glorious place called The Villages that we call home was built by people from Michigan! The Morse family is from northern Michigan near Traverse City.

Oh by the way ....I was born and raised in Michigan but I married a girl from Ohio and have been living behind "enemy lines" for 30+ years..... Ohio is a pretty nice place too!
