yup, we date ourselves.somehow, it's all the more impressive when you consider that this is freshwater - not the ocean
When I was 18 I worked at a place called Interlochen National Music Camp, about an hour's drive from Lake Michigan. I was dating a girl from Texas and one day I took her out to Lake Michigan. She said "I didn't know the ocean came to Michigan." When I told her it was a lake, she didn't believe me until I had her walk down to the edge and scoop up some water to taste. She was amazed at all that fresh water ...... evidently, she'd never seen that much fresh water in the whole state of Texas.
