The old saying “Red skies in morning, sailors take warning” didn’t hold true today. There was a slight red sunrise but the forecast was for clear skies and we almost got that – partially cloudy skies. It was a non-descript ride through non-descript Michigan. I wasn’t worried about not finding a photo because I knew there would be one at the end of the ride – the bridge into Canada. The bridge is most imposing; actually scary to someone afraid of heights and of falling. Traffic is so heavy it’s pretty much bumper-to-bumper. But sometime tomorrow – I’ll find out when at our 5:00 meeting – they’ll shut down the bridge and allow us to ride over in mass. I hope someone will be able to get a picture.
Riding through Michigan yesterday, I realized we haven’t seen many signs of the recession. In particular, we haven’t seen many houses for sale. That changed coming into Port Huron today; there were many for sale signs on houses. We were on Lakeshore Drive, a stone’s throw from Lake Huron, so maybe these were second homes but there are a lot of them on the market.
