Back

At least I saw a couple of DON’T FRACK MICHIGAN stickers on bumpers on this last visit back to the US.

But they were still attached to the same SUV and oversized pick-up truck bumpers. 

I only saw one wind turbine and one house with solar panels in a place that outdoes Northern Europe in sunny days by 4 to 1– and that was on the roof of a self-declared environmental community.  Most new houses just had one outstanding feature:  SIZE. 

Small here is XL.  And most new homes are 2XXL, just like the T-Shirts that say “ Lake Michigan Unsalted” written in fat print across the front.

As always, being back, really feels like being back.

In 1990.
