The Creation of Michigan
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six
days. Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the
seventh day. He inquired of God, 'Where have you been?'
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards
through the clouds, 'Look Michael, look what I've made.'
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, 'What is it?'
'It's a planet,' re plied God, 'and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call
It Earth a nd it's going to be a great place of balance'
'Balance?', inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of earth, 'For example, Northern
Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while southern
Europe is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot.
Over here I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a
continent of black people,' God continued, pointing to different
countries 'This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be
very cold and covered in ice.'
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a large land
mass and said, 'What's that one?'
'Ah,' said God. 'That's Michigan, the most glorious place on earth.
You'll notice that it is made in the fashion of my hand, the Hand of
God. There are beautiful lakes, rivers, sunsets and rolling hills. The
people from Michigan are going to be modest, intelligent and
humorous and they are going to be found traveling the world. They
will be extremely sociable, hard working and high achieving, and they
will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace.'
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, 'What
about balance, God?' 'You said there would be balance!'
God replied wisely, 'Wait until you see the idiots I'm putting around
them in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois Wisconsin and Canada.'

Those of you who know me, know that I am not the type to "bash" other people, companies or places. Sometimes, funny is just funny.
On a serious note, Michigan is the most glorious place on Earth. I was at a dinner party on Saturday with folks who grew up in Miami and moved here after living all over California. As they were rattling off the things they did there (camp, hit the sand dunes, go to the beach, ski, gamble, get stuck in traffic (I just added that) and a litany of other things I remarked "We got all that here dude and you can embrace the change of seasons".
I can't tell you how many smiles and happy people the weather in the past two weeks has brought out. You don't really get to appreciate the sun until you don't see it for days/weeks on end. I think we should change our state's motto from "If you seek a nicer peninsula, look around you" to "If you don't like the snow, you might as well go".
Most of us are here by choice, not circumstance. Feel free to remind people of that during your next "what Michigan isn't" conversation.
