Trump said he wanted to build a wall on the southern border of Colorado.
That might be a lot easier than trying to build it along the Mexican
border. Hey, maybe every state should have a wall along each of its
borders. That would keep the construction jobs going for a while.

Good idea. I'd be a breeze in Michigan. Two relatively short walls
and we can keep out both the Ohioans and Wisconsinites.

You still have Indiana and don't forget the boat people. There are
several thousand miles of coastline. The main part of the state is
surrounded on 3 sides by water bisecting you from the U.P.
Maybe you would be more defensible if you let Wisconsin have the U.P.


I'd be happy to reverse the outcome of the Toledo War, now that the mines
of the U.P. are no longer an economic powerhouse.
You would miss Iron Mountain...

Would I? I see it has a bocce ball tournament. Pity I don't play.

Now you're really missing something... There are bocce courts in the
North End of Boston. The players are mostly older men and it's slow and
civilized. That contrasts with the informal games played in public parks
where I grew up. Underhand tosses are legal and combined with young
Italian guys with a gut full of chianti, quiet picnics were sometimes
interrupted by an errant bocce ball.

We used to have a Celtic Festival and Irish road bowling was featured on
one of the bike/pedestrian trails. I avoided that too.

I was only in the UP once. I left Montana with springtime in the Rockies
in full swing, chirping birds, budding trees, and all that stuff.

I remember wading through 2 feet of snow to an outhouse in a closed
roadside park along US 2. iirc my delivery was in Crystal Falls which
is even less appealing and my dispatcher sent me to Iron Mountain while
she tried to find a load to get me out of Michigan.

I'm sure it's pretty in the summer, but I'm also sure, like Wisconsin,
the mosquitoes resemble 737's.
