    Here's a fun fact. What's the US state with the most lighthouses ?

    Hint: It's not Maine or California

    spoiler

    It's Michigan

      Makes sense. I think people who've never lived near the Great Lakes don't appreciate how rough they can be. They're not your little calm shallow recreational lakes where you can see the opposite shore. They're massive freshwater seas with frequently deadly weather. Even the ships have to be specially designed to handle the lakes.

          That song was living in my head rent-free when I did a cross-country 3000Km move in a rented van with old summer tires during november. I was driving along the northern shore of Lake Superior during an especially bad storm. Seeing Superior's massive grey waves under oppressive grey skies is something I'll never forget.
