There's a Bimmer in our garage....but there's also an Oldsmobile that was
made just down the xway in Lansing....we bought the Bimmer in MI from
Michiganders...

I couldn't say; are there any imported cars on your street?

Why would you import someone else's produce when you're a leading
agricultural state (although some places do, but Michigan stuff is
better
and cheaper) It would be like eating Washington apples or Maine
potatoes...Michigan is a leader in both industries...also, why would a
Michigander eat cane sugar when we grow sugar beets? BTW, real maple
syrup
is real maple syrup and there is no distinction between Vermont syrup
or
Michigan syrup. Where there is a distinction is when you tap maple
trees
that don't get enough cold/warm nights/days...like Indiana, for
example...the sap doesn't have the sugar content necessary to make
really
good syrup. We tapped once...it is a lot of work and boiling the
stuff
down
without the equipment (a still type thing is a tedious process, and
since
there is a sugar bush farm around the corner, I just buy it from them.

We have Cracker Barrels in Michigan...but we have real Michigan
maple
syrup
which isn't distilled acid rain like Vermont's....

I have to go with Cracker Barrel when I'm down South. We were in
South
Carolina a few weeks ago and had a great breakfast at CB. They
had
real
Vermont syrup. God bless America.

You'll no doubt be happy to know I just drove through
Lousiana,
Alabama,
Mississippi, Florida, Georgia and now S. Carolina with nary a
single
lynching. Although I would cheerfully nominate Perkins
Restaurants
for
the
dishonor and tie the know myself.

......of course there's still N.Carolina and Virginia yet to
go

When I was 10 (a million years ago) we drove to Florida in
the
days
before
e-ways and had car trouble in GA....we couldn't get anyone
to
fix
the
car
until after the lynching...was the entertainment of the
week....we
were
appalled....that was in 1962.....

I don't see any fun in that.

Makes beer and squirty cheese seem high-brow by
comparison.
