Exit 339 by Judy Kelly  Image: On the ramp leading to the Mackinaw Bridge, I was struck by the juxtaposition of the nearby super-sized horizontal Weinerlicious hot dog sign and the vertical towers of the Mighty Mac.  My whimsical interpretation leads to a bevy of questions.  Will the dog snag on the tower while going through?  Will the Weinermobile become airborne lifted by the notorious strait winds?  Is the car a pastie introducing the hot dog to the UP?  You are invited into the scene to speculate on the fate of this Dog and Car story.
