Time to focus on the grass being greener in our own yard. Maybe Governor Sanford wasn't kidding about all those people coming from Michigan in the U-Hauls...... If you look around a bit, you'll see signs of the decline of the Land of the Wolverines.
As the auto industry hits the skids in Detroit, there are signs that an all-out jailbreak is in process. Thousands of foreclosures are going on all across the state. If you can hold onto them for awhile, you might turn a good profit. Word is that properties are going for one-fourth the prices asked just a couple years ago.
But, what is the most obvious sign that a place is going down the crapper? Websites to find women. Yes, along with women from The Phillippines, Vietnam, Russia, and the Dominican Republic, there is a website featuring women from Michigan!! Like they can't escape to Ohio or Indiana...Guys, just get your passport ready - a girl from Michigan is waiting for you. Just learn the language and the culture, and pick your woman.
Today, I had a customer who recently moved here from there, and I asked her, "Is it really as bad in Michigan as they say it is?" Her embarrassed , one-word answer? "Yes".
Maybe they'll make a comeback and turn the state into a winner again. Maybe they'll stop allowing the unions to run the state, and make it more competitive. Maybe they''l have someone aside from "Dumb and Dumber" star Jeff Daniels to do the commercials for doing business in their state. Good luck, fellas !!

I make it to Detroit some the best part is crossing the bridge into Windsor, Ontario, Canada for some cheap drinks and cuban cigars. The Ambassador Bridge I believe it is the most crossed place between two countries legally. Of course you know Detroit has casinos now to keep the money from flowing across the border to the Canadian side casinos. They do put on a good fireworks show that is best watched from Canada in July. It is lovely to see the reflections off the river and off the skyscrapers from Windsor. Since my hockey team is the Chicago Black Hawks I hate to admit hockey is better in Detroit. It is also a nice drive along the lake shore north try it sometime. Another thing I like in Detroit is the tunnel at the airport as it puts on a spectacular light show with futuristic music if you never seen it you are missing something. I hope Michigan does recover it is a special place especially the upper pennisular in winter.
