The photo that really caught my attention regarding the overturned liquor semi truck was the one with a man securing the cases of liquor with shrink wrap, without using any gloves. His hands must have toughened skin in order to do that with no padding. Whether using a wide roll of shrink wrap, as in THAT photo, or a narrower one like I used on soccer nets 1 1/2 years ago, everybody I ever worked with who used shrink wrap used protective gloves, including the men. Shrink wrap is strong enough to hold heavy boxes of material (liquor, stereo speakers, e.g.) as they're loaded or reloaded into a truck.

"Members of the Michigan marching band, dance and cheer teams form the state of Michigan and the upper peninsula on the field during a Pure Michigan video shoot at Michigan Stadium on Wednesday." Yikes. Last time I checked, the UP was still part of the state.

If the UP were no longer part of Michigan, there goes another US congressman. One of our congressional districts covers all of the UP and the northernmost part of the LP. What a time of year to limit Michigan to a mitten shape; with Labor Day coming up, hundreds of people are going to be jogging from one peninsula to the other, via the Mackinac Bridge.
