Turbines have a small footprint in a pasture. If the state can kick in a startup loan to set the turbines up, maybe it might be a way for struggling local farmers to hang onto their land, and preserve the rural character of the outcounty. * * * * * * * * * * * * yd - 2005-01-28 16:17:42 3 Things to know about Michigan: It's freakin cold and grey for 8 months. The Lions suck and always will. Winter-potholes, Summer-construction. * * * * * * * * * * * * yd - 2005-01-28 16:17:42 3 Things to know about Michigan: It's freakin cold and grey for 8 months.

I'd say Michigan really only has 5 months of freakin' grey coldness. I usually try to balance that in my mind with the fact that we have no alligators, killer bees or former movie star governors. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-01-28 16:31:06 Or giant hissing cockroaches, or unremitting brain-melting swelter.

Do you think a few of them could be housed at the soon-to-be-abandonded zoo on Belle Isle? * * * * * * * * * * * * add your comment: your name: your email: your url: back to the entry - Diaryland
