    Grab Your Umbrella

    Wear Comfortable Clothes

    Depending on your polling location, township proposals and more, you could be waiting in line for an extended period of time today. Wear something comfortable! (And might want to stay away from anything that could be offensive.) You'd probably be safe wearing a Detroit Lions or Detroit Tigers sweatshirt. It seems that everyone is mad at them right now.

    Zip Your Lip
