MICHIGAN OUTLINES

Ponogram #93, “Outlines of Paradise” sampled the outlines of the State of Hawaii and the Island of Maui.  This P-gram samples outlines of the State of Michigan and surprised me with some of the clever innovations.  Why Michigan?  Pono was born in the Upper Peninsula (UP) and spent some 30 years all over the state.

This carrying basket has Lower Peninsula (LP) ends and a UP handle. Lawn chairs feature the entire state with the UP offering a convenient hangar for a towel or a jacket.     Heart of Michigan in Howell (see the heart in the LP) features a number of the following outline products.  In addition, if you are hungry for a north woods pasty, Heart of Michigan ships them!  (Please don’t be disappointed – their pasties are not shaped like the outline of Michigan.) How about a 20-pc Michigan jigsaw puzzle.       Michigan soaps and stickers.       Necklaces – I’ve even seen a ring with the Peninsulas on wraparound arms.    And of course, every state has their quarter. And someone from the Michigan Disability Rights Coalition had the vision to see an M in the LP.       Michigan tattoos as a picturesque heartbeat and just the outline.     LP cheese tray and LP cookie kit.  Standalone UP and LP trays.       “Michigan’s Better Half” and the tee-shirt quote express the chauvinism of Yoopers (those from the UP [yoo pee] aka “Yooperland”).  Do you understand?       A depiction of the Great Lakes is like a negative of the State of Michigan.     AFTERWORD   Let’s just put this all in the proper perspective!
