Michigan is best known for being the place where, in 1896, Henry Ford built the first commercially successful automobile, using parts manufactured by the Toyota Corporation. This resulted in Detroit, a modern dynamic city that is well worth flying over at a minimum altitude of seven miles. Michigan also contains the Great Lakes, five mighty bodies of water--Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, Lake Toledo, Lake Inferior, and the Mayor Earl T. Wonkerman Memorial Lake--which inspired the great eighteenth-century poet Henry Wadsworth Allen Poe to write the immortal "Song of Hiawatha":
By the shores of Gitche Gumee;
By the shining Big-Sea water;
Strode the mighty Hiawatha;
In a frock he made from otter
(Chorus)
Speaking of culture, the World Book Encyclopedia states that every year Michigan has a "Magic Get-Together" in a city named "Colon." We definitely think you should check this out
Today's Latin: ut ameris, amabilis esto (that you may be loved, who love)
