What's good for the goose is good for the Michiganders

We are Michiganders! Sort of officially. We have a house, job, we know our neighbors, our garbage and recyclables are collected each Thursday, but we don't have MI driver licenses yet. Still, we love Ferndale! We love our house, neighborhood, nearby shops, fireflies, and being so close to Lafawnduh's home town.

Lafawnduh

"- I've already got a soul mate.

- Oh, yeah. What's her name again? 
                 
- Lafawnduh.

- Lafawnduh. Huh. How's she doin'?

- Well, I think I'm gonna need some time off. She's flyin' out from Detroit for a few days.
                 
- Well, what about work? Well, haven't...haven't you studied up on the new product?
                 
- Yes.

- Well, do you know it backwards and front?
                
- Basically."

We live near Woodward Avenue, which is famous for its Dream Cruise, a huge annual car show. People have been dragging their classic cars up and down Woodward all week. Ford, GM, and Chrysler set up little street fairs with food, activities, and live music on different ends of the stretch, and parking is impossible to find. Lucky for us, we're within walking distance. It's been fun seeing all the unique cars and enjoying gas guzzlers (if just for a day). Jon and I both wonder what the pollution from this event will do to our health, but it's hard not to get in the spirit of old Motor City. Everyone drives American made cars in Michigan it seems. I'm starting to buy into the patriotic flavor of this area. I might just buy a Ford next time around...
