   I have an alternative life worked out for myself. I live (rent free) with my dad in Sarasota and work at a tiki bar. I watch the sunset over the Gulf every night. Maybe I also teach school, maybe not. I wear my Birkenstocks all year.

   But I wouldn’t have the same kinds of friends in Florida, I’ve never worked at waitressing/bartending and I know I would suck and the politics there are even nuttier than they are here.

   But some days, yes, I think about it….

   Because we believe in Rick Snyder and want to help him reimagine Michigan as an abortionless utopia where there are no public schools.

   Let’s not fool ourselves. We stay because we have low self esteem and we don’t think we’d be able to make it anywhere else.

   I looked at Marfa Texas as a retreat from brutal Michigan winters. Small town. Artist friendly. Not too “texan”.

   That is until I looked it over with Google Earth. Not many trees. Not much green.

   Hopefully this image doesn’t make its way to India, where all of the potential high-tech immigrants are that Rick Snyder so desperately wants to lure here.

   I’m here because this is the last place that the aliens will want to settle when they land on the earth.
