Yesterday morning I delivered in Rochester Hills, had breakfast and got a load offer picking up in Toledo about 85 miles away. 2½ hours later I arrived at the pickup on the west side of Toledo. I-75 was packed with ice, traffic and wrecks. South of downtown the left lane wasn't even plowed.
When I hit the Ohio state line the roads were just wet and traffic was moving. How is it that the same highway can be covered in ice and by merely crossing a political boundary, the ice turns to water? I realize Ohio is further south, but...
If Michigan is that poor off financially then maybe it is time for some drastic actions. I purpose we sell Detroit to the Chinese for some glass beads and shiny rocks. Sell the U.P. to Wisconsin since it is already attached to that state. Sell the rest of Michigan to Ontario, that way the Ambassador Bridge no longer spans an international boundary and give Isle Royale to Minnesota, just because.
