try to see Michigan's UP one of these days....

Michigan has no upper peninsula. It's a myth. I know. I saw it from a
trail that goes nowhere near it. It's just weed choked parking lot.

they got some good barstools though.

It's got Len (dances with captive wolves) MacDougal. You probably saw
an area near him, where the landscape was trying to hide him and
pretend it and he were somewhere else.

r.bc: vixen. Minnow goddess. Speaker to squirrels.
Often taunted by trout. Almost entirely harmless.

That's the nitwit who writes books about "wilderness" experiences in the
Lake Superior State Forest and advertises his expertise over in
rec.backcountry, right? He's funny.

Yep. Lots of turgid self-promotional prose. I stopped reading him
before people started yelling at him for killing a bear that got into
his supplies. They had the odd idea that a competent woodsman living
in the 'wilderness' should be able to keep his supplies safe from
bears and vice versa. I suppose he could be funny if he weren't so
irritating. He doesn't come around much any more.

10 to 1 you'd never find him in the Gay Bar.

I can certainly see why some might find him irritating. But communication
of any sort depends as much upon what happens at the receiving end as it
does on the sender. He's every bit as funny as our own collection of
clowns......the trick is to ignore the pathos (the display of which is,
after all, at least theoretically under their own control) and wallow in the
warm soothing balm of the idiocy.

10 to 1 you'd never find him in the Gay Bar.

I'll let you know.
