Trees are the right height

I can safely promise you that this is the only time I will defend Mitt Romney, but I kind of know what he means about Michigan trees.

Recently people have been making fun of his comment that in Michigan the "trees are the right height".  While I've never said that, those are the weird sort of things you notice about the place you grew up when you go back to visit after a long time.  It is the little things about the landscape, that you can't quite put your finger on if pressed, but it just looks RIGHT.  Which is because it is home.

I only moved back to Michigan 6 months ago and as I was driving across the country, from Washington to Montana to Minnesota and finally Michigan (and all the non-M states in between) it just started to look more and more RIGHT.  And by that I mean that even though I hadn't lived here in 7 years it looked more like HOME.  Maybe it was the height of the trees, who am I to say.
