The Great Divide. Anyways, I grew up in Ludington, Michigan. Home of the S.S. Badger. And her sister ship the S.S. Spartan, that is broken down, rusted out, and used for parts for the Badger. You know what animal is strikingly similar to a badger? A wolverine. Guess which ship is still sailing across to Manitowac and back. The Badger is. The Spartan isn't. Tells you a lot about which team I support.
