... hebben ze in de VS een lotterij systeem bedacht. Iedereen met staanplaatsen krijgt een polsbandje en daarop staat een nummer. Door een lotterij wordt bepaald welk nummer de uiteindelijke nieuwe nummer 1 is. Ditmaal werd een nummer rond de 590 getrokken. Er pasten 500 man in de pit, er waren tegen de 1000 polsbandjes uitgegeven, dus met nummer 213 zou ik het niet halen. Ik heb het toen ook opgegeven om zo ver mogelijk vooraan te komen. Dat heeft geen zin ...

I am still at home. Only one more week. Being away from my home for three weeks requires a lot of preparation. I even know the movie that are going to have on the Flight. I am tired already!! Since I will be on a plane for almost 24 hours, I am collecting all the necessary stuff needed to be comfortable. <br>

... folks... which always makes for an even more fun time! There were signs all over the place warning about the amount of blood and how it was very likely you would get sprayed. Much like the splash zones in SeaWorld. They sold ponchos at the door, or you could provide your own covering. Anne, of course, had already seen the show, and knew where to sit us so we wouldn't get sprayed. The lady in front of me was hilarious, she cut a hole in a regular Kroger plastic bag ...

... it up because the mask is way too hot. But it should work good for some SCUBA diving pictures.<br>I'm so excited and ready to start this trip. I've been running around trying to tie up everything so I can leave for 5 ish months. I've put 240 miles on the car in two days and I'm still not done.<br>Oh well its time to do some drinking. Let the party begin.<br>

Phew... Going through US Customs was a bit trying... No searching but a lot of questions meant - I supposed - to catch us with something bad... Who knows. We did not loose any meal. We're in the middle of a fairground, with a weak WiFi but OK. The only analog TV channels are from Detroit but the Detroit area offers 22 digital channels, many <br><br>Longer day than expected but we grinded the flying condo to a halt. No problem other than a sticking lock on the propane door.

... 8220;How the Crash Will Reshape America,&#8221; Richard Florida writes that cities like Detroit and others in the &#8220;Slump Belt&#8221; may have reaching a tipping point where they will become ghost towns. The challenge for Detroit and other cities will be &#8220;managing population decline without becoming blighted ...

We missed our connection from Detroit to Green Bay due to "air traffic control" issues, or so they say. So we are stuck in Detroit for tonight and should get back to Green Bay tomorrow morning. I'm really tired and anxious. I was bummed we didn't get back tonight, even late. But, delays and missed ...

... in. Also I've eaten a lot of good food, including the most anticipated meal of the year: Thanksgiving dinner. Aunt Jackie had Thanksgiving at her house and it was a very homey setting with logs burning in the fireplace and deliciously brined Turkey. I think the stuffing was my favorite part, it's been the same quality recipe all my life. A new favorite- Aunt Cindy's whipped pumpkin turtle pie. I want to say a big Thank You! to all the ...

I haven't really seen much of detroit. I went there a few times becasue my sister in law lived there but I didn't really do much site seeing. I really don't Detroit is uch of a tourist city anyway. It's a bit too sketchy for me to want to do a vacation there.
