Random observations on Day 1

We crossed into Michigan from Sarnia, Ontario, drove through Michigan, then northern Indiana, and into Illinois. Here are some random observations of the drive:

- Michigan is a billboard state. Constant, never ending billboards along the interstate advertising anything and everything.

- Apparently Americans like their "Adult" stores "supersized". In other words, there is a constant stream of billboards advertising Adult "Superstores".

- Apparently you can never have enough Jewellery stores. There are as many jewellery stores as there are McDonalds, maybe more, and there is at least one McDonalds for every exit on the Interstate.

- ......there is a McDonalds for every exit on the Intersate.

- Rubber tire debris. Either Michigan has never cleaned this up, or the truck retread and tire service businesses are making a "killing".
