So here's the long awaited thread for the trip to Michigan for Thanksgiving. Good thing I waited because I banged out a trip and back Tuesday.

So we got into the accident with the mustang before the trip for Thanksgiving. Turns out unbeknownst to Matt, his license is suspended. So he storms into the DMV to see WTF and it turns out this is from some bullshit from 1996 and he found that stuff in his dad's house during the funeral stuff back in July. He tried to call and pay these fines and when he did, their automatic system suspended his license. He's been trying to get it sorted ever since. Turns out Michigan uses snail mail for this. Suffice it to say, his license is in a state of giant-clusterfuck for the next week or so.

OK so on to the road trip.

Michigan:
I gotta say, this state by far, hands down has the worst drivers above and beyond Maryland and Jersey. If you ever wanted any car behind you in your back seat while you're driving, Michigan is for you. I don't get it. This is a HUGE state with wide open roads and EVERYONE tailgates. I was brake-checking people left and right. Besides Tailgating, they feel the need to zip in front of you ONLY when they have to squeeze between you and the guy in front of you so you slam on the brakes.

Michigan does not believe in repairing their roads or painting lines on the shit, crater ridden roads they already have.
People drive through pot holes deep enough to bury a family and they think nothing of it. Everyone's car looks like a beat up jalopy because they just don't care.

Then there's what I call "The Trail of Death". Dead animals every hundred feet and blood stains all over the place. I'm not talking a frog or squirrel here and there, but there are carcasses of deer, dogs cats whatever every couple hundred feet. Old carcasses, bones and fur carcasses, Fresh carcasses. There are always some kind of carrion bird flying above. Apparently Michigan does not believe in picking up the carcasses.

They also do not clean the roads of debris. There are BIG chunks of metal, tires, wood, whatever just lying in the road or along side.

I did get to meet Dylan for a short visit. I'll make it a longer one next time we go back. He'll also be settled into his new home by then too.

Had lunch with his friend Mike and we went to Ford's Grill. Matt thinks you should see the bathroom.

   

   

Tried to get a sneak peek at the new vehicles:

   

   

So things I learned on the road trip 1:

There are Romulans in Michigan.

   

A song came on the radio that reminded me of Trudi:

   

When you get to Pennsylvania, they like to remind you that you're in America:

   

MORE in the next post.
