Never been to NE, but am sure it is nice.
MI is really not too bad either. The State recently took over control of Detroit, so once that cesspool of corruption is cleaned up, it may get nicer here.
JKB, Ken, James, et al - you're welcome, anytime. I'll turn off the feeders a few days before your arrival so we can have a hot bite, then maybe celebrate our comraderie by sacrificing a little plot of the farm via flash powder, and retire to Bruce's and watch him maime BG to feed to his porpoises, er, LMB.
