First Steps

First Steps
So before I get into the first steps of what I did on the job I have to tell you a little about how I go here. I drove my car from North Carolina to Detroit,MI and some things I learned on the way were...
1)Virginia is not kidding about their speed limits, there were signs, and cops every where
2)West Virginia has a lot of construction, but here is the thing no one is actually working where it says there is construction
3)Ohio there are no cops and the Ohio turnpike is straight and boring but there is a Panera Bread company at one of the stops.
4)Michigan the drivers go a little crazy, and in Detroit it seems that people follow their own rules. However, as crazy as they are if a light is out they are the calmest drivers i've ever seen. 


Oh yes but my story...so on the way to Detroit Michigan I accidentally made a little detour...to Canada. That is right CANADA. My GPS and I got into a minor argument because it was asking me to go on roads that were blocked with construction next thing I am going through what I think is a toll booth and in actuality is a payment to go into Canada. Before I realize what is going on I'm on the bridge unable to turn around. I get up to the guy with no passport and explain to him that I need to take the biggest U turn of my life. The guy a Canada giggled and let me through no big deal, the guy in the US gave me so much crap. Asked me if I had a gun about 11 times. No sir I do not but do you really think I would just say "Oh yes sir I do, would you like to confiscate it and arrest me?" Needless to say I paid $8 ($4 in and $4 out) to spend about 20minutes in Canada. I laughed throughout the whole thing and still think it is ridiculous.
