Auburn Hills — It’s nearly midnight, and I can’t sleep. I can still feel the acceleration of the haggard Honda Nightwing I was riding earlier, the way you can feel rollercoasters or wave pools hours after the fun stops. Instead of sleeping soundly after a big day, I’m scheming: How do I get another hit? I want more of that roar, those g-forces, that carbureted engine smell. You need to take a written and road test to get your motorcycle’s license in Michigan.

Detroit — Democrats, environmental justice activists, and idealists admit they want to burn down Michigan’s economy and rebuild it in their image. How do I know this? I went to the heart of the Green Revolution last week at the MI Healthy Climate Conference in downtown Detroit. Good news!

Oxford — In the American Legion in Oxford, there is a copper-colored state flag, a striking aberration from Michigan’s lake-blue banner. It may be the only one in existence. How did an emblem of the Upper Peninsula’s statehood movement end up here? Jim Parkhurst, curator of the American Legion’s museum, said the flag is from the 1920s and was created by state legislators who wanted to create a separate state out of the Upper Peninsula.

The Michigan DNR says it will continue with its plans to round up Canada geese and kill them with carbon dioxide gas, despite the protests of animal lovers who plead, “Don’t gas geese!” To hear the animal welfare crowd tell it, no one wants a Canada goose to die—but I wouldn’t mind. I think we should be culling the rats of the sky or sending them back from whence they came.

Detroit — Everyone knows that Detroit is the Motor City. But what happens to the cars abandoned in blighted neighborhoods, ones near homes that have burned down or maybe flooded in high water? They might end up here at the Detroit Police Department’s Grand River Impound Lot. And eventually, they may end up on the department’s auction list. It’s a strange business watching men gather around a cop to buy junk cars from the city.
