Wilkommen Nach America

Waking up at 4AM is really like not having slept at all. I guess i could go to be at 8 tonight...but whats the fun in that. A better solution would be to just stay up all night..but the 2 hr drive to the airport would be a challenge. The compromise therefore leaves me with around a 2-3 hr nap before 18hrs of flying tomorrow. Who would've thought...we can explore space and conquer the poles...but a simple direct flight to Indy isn't even remotely possible. Nope...Zurich to Amsterdam to Minneapolis to Indy. For those who are directionally challenged...thats north, then west, then east and south. hmmmm. The hub and spoke system, a model of transportation efficiency.

Anyway, i thought i'd brush up on US current events before coming over. Apparently there's quite a bit of dialogue now around immagration. According to the "internet news" there are allot of illegals entering america from Mexico. I suppose it's possible...but after living in Michigan for 4 years i always thought Canada would be grabbing all the headlines. That's OK though...the Daily Show is fighting the good fight and getting the word out about our evil northern neighbors. Michiganders like to joke that the state is shaped like a gloved hand...i like to think it's a hand held up while a collective America yells "Stop".
