yes you did get a PM about me. Actually, my girlfriend lived in kalkaska (rapid city to be exact) and that's where i was contacting you from at the moment. I'm orginally from downstate by detroit. Well not by, i live in the burbs. Novi was were i grew up in. I've just been in da UP for 2 years now and everyone i know downstate always calls me a yooper.
and yes i do realize the name is quite flaky....frankly I dont' know why i keep it. But i'm terrible with names...as you can see.

So there aren't too many yoopers out there. I dont' blame em, it's cold up here!
