Nancy Flanagan at Teacher in a Strange Land is hosting the 172nd Carnival of Education.
She teaches in Michigan, which I guess is a ‘strange land.’ It does look like a mitten, after all, and there’s a big part that isn’t even really connected to the mitten! Weird.
There is historical testimony that at least one couple is quite happy in Michigan - originally told by Lefty Frizzell, Ron Warner tells the tale.
Darren at Right on the Left Coast gives his take on some Washington University graduates’ decision to turn their backs on their commencement speaker.
He titled that post “Free Speech and Rudeness,” a dichotomy that plenty of young people would do well to consider this Memorial Day.
Then there’s my entry.

Hey, watch what you say about my homestate. (wink) Your state’s biggest city is on an island, for crying out loud. LOL

True, true. I don’t get down to that part of the state too often.
I’ve always thought that “Michigander” was one of the finer demonyms. “New Yorker” is kinda plain.

I’ve never been to NY. I’d love to go because there’s more to NY than just the Big Apple. Just another place to put on my List of Places to Visit. :-)
