"Are you against Social Security?
If not, then shut up."
--------------------
Bay Furnace - Christmas, Michigan
White-hot streams of
liquid iron once ran across this area. The molten iron flowed
through channels and into sand moulds where it hardened into bars.
These bars were called "pigs" because the rows of channels and bars
looked like suckling pigs laying next to their mother. Bay
Furnace was built in 1870 and abandoned in 1877. The USDA
Forest Service stabilized the remaining ruins in 1992 to prevent
additional damage.
They might want to remove the trees and shrubs that are encroaching?

Today, we are working
on getting our pontoon boat reassembled and ready for the Au Train
Lake Pontoon Parade held on the second Saturday in August.

"I don't know of a liberal program that conservatives didn't
later
endorse. I tell them, 'Are you against
Social Security? If not, then
shut up.' We don't want to turn it over to
Enron, Halliburton or Arthur Andersen.
Everybody is for these programs except the most retarded in
either party."
George McGovern,
former United States Congressman,
Senator, and Democratic presidential candidate.
