For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.

UPDATE: Fortuitous timing allowed me to attend the viewing, which was a moving and humbling experience.

Somewhere in Michigan, n miles from Detroit

without comments

In southwestern Michigan, about 30 vehicles were involved in a deadly series of pileups on a six-mile stretch of Interstate 94 north of Stevensville, about 175 miles west of Detroit.

Stevensville is a village just off the Lake Michigan shoreline, about 70 miles east of Chicago. What is the value of pointing out its distance from Detroit?
