There is a commercial for Michigan, how good it is for business, etc.

But aside from that it carries a BIG message that really made me stop in my tracks and think.



It's says that as an average living human( to about age 70) you have only 25,000 mornings!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:



Think about that....on 25,000 sunrises....lunches.....etc.

It made me stop and think.


If you Google 25,000 mornings you will see all kinds of comments as this has seemed to cause quiet a stir.


I'd put a link...but there are just so many there you can take your choice

You are just wanting people to hit "Google" so you can make more money. :wink: :)

You do own stock in a good company. I use Google all the time, and it answers any question very rapidly.

I would like to miss the odd sunrise. Morning tends to have a pile of work involved in it . I like evenings. 25000 evenings could make the mornings come too soon.

Kola, I enjoyed your post. I googled "25,000 mornings" and found the wonderful Michigan tourism ad. I liked it well enough to show it to my wife. I was, in all reality, trying to be nice to you and tease you just a little bit. You can't take it, can you? If you see the winkie thingy and the grinnie thingy, it means I'm trying to be funny. The ad had a point. We only get approximately 25,000 mornings in our life time, so we need to make the most of them.

P.S. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I appologize for not just saying this to you in the first place.

If it is any consolation, Kola, the Google page is my home page. :)

Thanks for showing us the Michigan tourism ad. It has a quality that makes a person want to visit that state. For many years I have wanted to go see Mackinac Island. Maybe someday.

Mackinac Island (From Wickpedia)

Mackinac Island (pronounced /ˈmækɨnɔː/ MAK-in-aw) is an island covering 3.8 square miles (9.8 km2) in land area, belonging to the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located in Lake Huron, at the eastern end of the Straits of Mackinac, between the state's Upper and Lower Peninsulas.[3] The island was home to a Native American settlement before European exploration began in the 17th century. It served a strategic position amidst the commerce of the Great Lakes fur trade. This led to the establishment of Fort Mackinac on the island by the British during the American Revolutionary War. It was the scene of two battles during the War of 1812.[4]

In the late 19th century, Mackinac Island became a popular tourist attraction and summer colony. Much of the island has undergone extensive historical preservation and restoration; as a result, the entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark. It is well known for its numerous cultural events; its wide variety of architectural styles, including the famous Victorian Grand Hotel; and its ban on almost all motor vehicles. More than 80 percent of the island is preserved as Mackinac Island State Park.[5]

Mackinac Island is about 8 miles (13 km) in circumference and 3.8 square miles (9.8 km2) in total area.[3] The highest point of the island is the historic Fort Holmes (originally called Fort George by the British before 1815), which is 320 feet (98 m) above the lake level and 890 feet (271 m) above sea level.[6] According to the 2000 census, the island has a year-round population of 523.[7] The population grows considerably during the summer as hotels, restaurants, bars and retail shops, open only during the summer season, hire short-term employees to accommodate as many as 15,000 visitors per day.[8] [9]

The island can be reached by private boat, by ferry, by small aircraft, and in the winter, by snowmobile. The airport has a 3,500 feet (1,070 m) paved runway, and charter air service from the mainland is available.[10] In the summer tourist season, three separate ferry services shuttle visitors to the island from St. Ignace and Mackinaw City.[11]

Motorized vehicles have been prohibited on the island since 1898, with the exception of snowmobiles during winter, emergency vehicles, and service vehicles. Travel on the island is either by foot, bicycle, or horse-drawn carriage. Roller skates and roller blades are also allowed, except in the downtown area. Bicycles, roller skates/roller blades, carriages, and saddle horses are available for rent. An 8-mile (13 km) road follows the island's perimeter, and numerous roads, trails and paths cover the interior.[12] The road encircling the island and closely hugging the shoreline is M-185, the United States' only state highway without motorized vehicles.[13]

The island is the location of Mackinac Island State Park, which covers about 80 percent of the island and includes Fort Mackinac and portions of the island's historic downtown and harbor. No camping is allowed on the island, but numerous hotels and bed and breakfasts are available.[11][14]

The downtown streets are lined with many retail stores, candy shops, and restaurants. A popular item at the candy shops is the locally produced and nationally known "Mackinac Island fudge", leading to tourists sometimes being referred to as "fudgies". Many shops sell a variety of fudge, and some of the confectioners have been operating for more than a century. The popularity of the fudge has lead to the sales and marketing of Mackinac Island fudge not only throughout Michigan, but outside the state of Michigan as well.[15][16]
