On a recent trip to Ludington, Michigan I saw some interesting signs along the way.

1. from a restaurant: “Our fish come from the best schools.”
2. from an ice cream parlor: “This is a happy place…if you are crabby, go home.”
3. from the trail to the Big Sable Lighthouse at the life saving station: “Be prepared to go out, not to come back.”
4. on a plaque in an antiques store: “4 out of 5 Great Lakes prefer Michigan.”
5. on the door of an used book store: “Each time you read a book, a tree smiles, knowing there is life after death.”
