Snagg, During my travels, I sometimes find it difficlt to make friends with the locals. Could you possibly provide me with some of your techniques for "fitting in" when in unfamiliar environments?
I remember ranting about this before, but sit still a minute, and I'll do it again. My guy introduced my big shepherd-grizzly bear to the shower recently, and now it's his new favorite place! He naps there, sleeps there at night, hangs out there, crumples up my bath mat & pushes it INTO the shower, leaves tufts of hair there. Yuck! Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck! :-P
One thing about living on a peninsula...you can only go south to get out. That's not taking in of course that 5mile long bridge to the UP or if you are really desperate go east and cross over to that "other country"...you know, the one that has such a 'great economy and health care'.
