Louie, Louie, Louie. All that work and it's not right.

Ok, here's the changes to make.

1) Move O_IO out of the Great Lakes group. Put them in their own group, perhaps "Oh, Crap, I live in O_IO". But get them out of our group.

2) The order is all wrong. The first group should be "MEECHAHGAN!", followed by "And other Great Lakes".

Thanks for your cooperation in this matter... :laugh

Sounds like someone has had way too much home-brew!!!! It is quite obvious that you are hallucinating!!! There is only one great lake state, and Michigan is it!!!!!!!!!!

in Brau-es ist eine Anforderung

in life patience is a virtue
in brewing it is a requirement

Adventures used to be at the end of my street in Dearborn for years. Of course, this was before I started brewing. Now they moved far, far, far away and I now have to suffer with having to get in my car and drive that long, dangerous, five minute (when not in rush hour) drive. Woe is me!
