News From Michigan -OR- How To Get Out Of Work!

Sorry . . . Can't come to work today !

Best excuse yet for not
showing up for work!

Naubinway, MI
is on the north shore of Lake Michigan
on Route US-2 about 49 miles west of the Mackinaw Bridge
in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan .

 Hello, Boss
I can't come to work today.
A moose was born on my front lawn
and the Mama won't let us out the front door !
Baby Moose, 12-hours old,
born in the
middle of downtown Naubinway , Michigan . 

In my 33 years in Michigan 's Upper Peninsula ,

I have never seen a new-born baby moose.
The mother picked a small quiet neighborhood
and had her baby in a front yard,
near Highway # 2,
at 5:30 AM, Allen and I were bike riding
when we came upon the pair.
The lady across the street from
the house said she saw it being born.
We saw them at 5:30 PM,
so the little one was then 12 hours old.

What an awesome place to live !

"Makes it really tough to use the front door !"
