Similarly,
While sitting in my car on the shore of West Bay in Traverse City, Michigan
(actually a contiguous body of water with Lake Michigan) I over heard the
conversation from the car along side - one blue haired lady was asking the
other if the body of water before them was salt water or fresh!!!!!!! The
car had Michigan License plates BTW !

Subject: Re: Leica's done with film
2010/8/24 Bob W <[email protected]>:
incidentally I was in a shop at the weekend with my M7 on my shoulder. The
shop assistant asked if it was an old film camera. I told him it was
digital.
'It has a great look. Is it a Lumix?'
'No, it's a Leica'
'Never heard of them. Where is it from, I mean, which country?'
'Germany'
Look of bemusement
Scary. Did he know where Germany is, though?
I had an encounter once with a 13 year old kid in Northern Michigan
when his mom and aunt gave me a lift in their Ford Tempo where I sat
knee deep in Doritos bags but was happy to be getting somewhere.
Francis wanted to know why I had no car and I tried to explain that,
having come from Germany, to bring my car had been impossible on
obvious grounds. The rather bemused - as you say - response was: "but
there are ferries across Lake Michigan?". At this point his mom turned
around and said: "Francis, when we get home, mommy will show you
Germany on the 'risk' board. It is another country."
OK he was only 13 and there was a familiar predisposition for
underwhelming geography skills... but still...
Cheers
