Dear Jeff:

In a bid to give a boost to Michigan, which I've visited & is a great State, today's fascinating set of factoids comes from our great border State friend.

Y. Windsor, Ontario is south geographically of Detroit, Michigan. So to enter the mainland United States at this particular border checkpoint, Canadians must travel north instead of the usual south.

Z. Nicknames for Michigan include "The Great Lakes State" & "The Wolverine State." Note: This should make Wolverine of Marvel Comics Enterprises (TM) "The X-Men" very pleased.

A0. Michigan's great lakes account for fully 1/5th of the planet Earth's freshwater supply.

My Feline Son James Redwing Cat Koopmans Is Named After The Detroit Red Wings National Hockey League (NHL) Club,

Rory
