Driving at night in Michigan:

Thank you Mr/Ms Civilian -

I was often helped by the residents of Detroit, either by cooperation and remaining in the vehicle while I was fighting the driver, pointing out where a fleeing subject had run to and/or hidden, or just observing and providing support until back-up units arrived.

I was beyond thankful for this assistance by ordinary citizens and I think sometimes, because this is not always the situation, our fine residents and citizens of this Great Country do not receive the recognition they deserve for helping law enforcement officers -

THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY CITIZEN WILLING TO STEP IN AND HELP LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WHEN NECESSARY!!

Represent! All of the USA men’s hockey players on the ice during the golden goal have Michigan ties.

Jack Hughes, who scored the final goal, attended Plymouth-Canton Educational Park while playing for the U.S. National Team Development Program (USNTDP) in Plymouth Township.

Connor Hellebuyck was born in Commerce and attended Walled Lake Northern High School. He was the star of the game, making 40 saves.

Zach Werenski is from Grosse Pointe Woods and played with the Detroit Belle Tire minor ice hockey team. He gave the golden goal assist.

Dylan Larkin plays with the Detroit Red Wings, attended the University of Michigan and is from Waterford. Larkin had scored a goal in each of the previous two games.

Michigan has towns named Hell and Paradise and somehow that perfectly describes driving through this state in February versus July. You're in Hell when the roads are pure ice and your car is doing a slow-motion spin into a ditch. You're in Paradise when it's 75 degrees, the windows are down, and you're an hour from the lake. There is no in between. There is only Hell or Paradise. Michigan doesn't do middle ground.

Whoever named Bad Axe was clearly having a day. Not a bad day. Not a rough day. A BAD AXE day. The kind of day where you look around at everything happening and the only possible response is to name a whole town after it. We respect it. We don't question it. We just drive through it on the way to Kalamazoo and keep moving.

And speaking of Kalamazoo — nobody outside of Michigan believes that's a real place the first time they hear it. You tell someone from another state you're going to Kalamazoo and they look at you like you just made up a word. Meanwhile Michiganders have been saying it their entire lives without blinking once. Same goes for Ypsilanti, Keweenaw, Ontonagon, and L'Anse. We just grew up pronouncing things that make outsiders' brains short circuit and we think that's completely normal.

The funniest part of this whole list is that nobody from Michigan thinks any of these names are weird. You grow up here and "I'm heading to Hell for the weekend" is just a completely normal sentence that requires zero explanation. "We stopped in Climax on the way through." Perfectly fine. "I've got family in Zilwaukee." Sure, makes sense. Michigan sat down at the town naming table and went completely feral, and the rest of us just grew up in it and turned out totally normal. Probably.

Bad Bunny concluded his Super Bowl LX performance after facing a large amount of controversy. He brought out Lady Gaga to perform - and had an epic show. Rate his halftime show 1-10.
