I haven’t been through Detroit in over five years. Every time the roads were either torn up for construction or should have been torn up for repairs. The road sides were littered with all types of debris, including tires on the rim, mattresses, car fenders, and other crap big enough to cause a lot of damage if you hit it. They completely enclose the overpasses; I don’t know if it was to keep people from jumping or throwing shit onto the expressways. The whole scenario just scared the poop out of my wife. Even the Ambassador Bridge is scary. Detroit Customs is rude and Windsor is always very busy.

Now whenever we drive through to Canada, we take the northern route to Port Huron. It is much cleaner, faster, and less traffic. The only down part on the trip would be going through Flint, but that is a whole other story.

I’m glad you were able to say “…as a younger man…” It means you lived to tell the tale. Although it reminds me of some of the stupid things I did, don’t expect me to confess to any. I’m just glad to say I too survived.

Who knew that if you…
