Mitttrocentric Language
It occurred to me yesterday that, when I describe the state in which I live geographically [as opposed to the state of my soul or the state of my character or the state of my sense of humor] that I have been leaving out nearly half of the state.
Michigan is more than the Land of God's Left Hand, the part of the state that is affectionately called "da Mitt." Michigan is also da U.P., Land of Da Yoopers, eh?
Please forgive me for my Mittrocentric language.
So Michigan is now, in my blog at least, the Land of God's Left and Right Hands --one hand is da mitt, the other hand is da U.P. [Upper Peninsula]

Around here we call the UP "The Dead Rabbit." With affection, of course!

It does kind of look like a road-kill bunny squashed flat, eh?
