For a couple years, I lived up north in Traverse City. It was a tiny deserted town in the winter back then. The winters up there are crazy. They do get the lake-effect over on the west side so there was always three feet of snow  on the ground and it was cold. It was the most insanely beautiful place I've ever seen and thinking about it now makes me sad because no matter how much I may have appreciated being there when I was 18, I didn't appreciate it enough because now it no longer exists. It's hard to imagine a place more beautiful. The term here "up north" is not generic. It is a specific reference to people from Michigan. Maybe you have to be from here to know what I'm talking about.

There's the one road that goes up north. I'm sure there's a better way but I haven't put the time in to find it. I-75 goes from the West Side somewhere to Traverse City...or thereabouts, maybe beyond, probably beyond.  Up North is the upper Lower, not the UP. The UP is the UP and that's a whole different ball game and that's cool as hell too. It's just way too much driving. Nashville Tennessee is a shorter drive than Copper Harbor, Michigan for me. If you want to go to Isle Royale, that's a five-hour ferry ride north in Lake Superior but you have to wait your turn and also for the weather so that can turn into a couple of day ordeal in Houghton but it's worth the price of admission.

Anyhow, on that road that goes up north there' a certain point where the climate changes and it goes from like the kind of forests we have here, which I think are called 'Carolinian' or something like that to pine forests and the air changes. The smell of the air and the feel of it somehow. I don't know if that's the right word. It's a definite threshold though and you're aware of it when you cross-over and it makes you happy. It's not like it used to be but there's still a lot of empty space once you get past the trash of the cities. You'd think the winter would be worse up there but somehow it's better. It's clean and beautiful.


When I was a kid there was no people up there. I had the joint to myself.

The U.S. has no obligation to host foreigners, like Sami Hamdi, who support terrorism and actively undermine the safety of Americans. And we won't.

There is no room in the United States for the rest of the world’s terrorist sympathizers, and we are under no obligation to admit them or let them stay here.

 has made it clear that anyone who thinks they can come to America and hide behind the First Amendment to advocate for anti-American and anti-Semitic violence and terrorism – think again.

Not for long.
