You have to laugh
Last night we were at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn, Michigan. It is right across for Ford Motor Company’s world headquarters. It is a Hugh hotel. Everyone was so nice to us. Going up the elevator a maintains guys road up with us and I kidded him if we were going to have a problem getting to the fourth floor and he laughed and said no.
Later when we got back to our room it was 62 degrees. After trying to get the heater on I gave up and called the hotel for assistances. Guess who came to help the same guy I was kidding with. When he came in we both laughed. He got right work at figuring out the problem and also brought with him a portable heater. He told us that he would get to the central computer and that there he could correct the problem. I guess it worked because when we got up it was 82 degrees in our room.
Now of to Sault Saint Marie and the Soo Locks. I was a wonderful drive I-75 right in Sault Saint Marie, but there were some funny signs along the way.
We saw three of these sign on the way to Sault Saint Marie. Here is what the sign said” Prisons do not pick up hitch hikers”. What bothered me about the sign is why can’t they keep the prisoners in their prisons. I thought is impossible escape for a prison but I guess I was wrong.
Saul Saint Marie is in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and for some reason they don’t consider them part of the Lower Peninsula. This couldn’t be more apparent is when I went to pay our dinner bill with American Express and Kara our wonderful server that said if you’re North of the Bridge the yuppers don’t take AMX. I asked what is north of what bridge mean and she told me any one north of the Mackinaw Bridge that connects the lower peninsula of Michigan to the upper peninsula and you live in the upper peninsula your are and yupper.
I found out because I was from the Lower Peninsula I was a troll or an apple knocker. Isn’t interesting what you learn from asking questions.
What ever I am called I am sure it is worth a good laugh.
Happiness with Wealth to you
