was OT Prayers needed - now Michiagn driving

January 14, 2005

Must have been talking about a Michigan turn around It's when you turn

right go a little ways and turn around and go back the way you just came. Around

here we have a lot of divided roads where if you want to go east, you have to go

west a ways before you come to a break in the median to turn around and go east.

Friends from Texas used to tease me about 'driving like you're in Michigan' and

I had to ask what they ment. They also said you drive like New York if you're

leaning out the window yelling at other drivers and using hand gestures. Since

I've only visited NY state, I yell and gesture from inside the car

Hi Jaime,

As old as I am, I have never heard anything like this before.

I'm from Michigan, yet I have been to many states.

Know I wouldn't want to live in Ca. But thats due to earthquakes.

Although just a couple months ago, while leaving the hospital, my daughter

was on the phone with my other daughter telling her how to get there.

She told her I just did a Michigan. My daughter is 39. I didn't know what

she was talking about. I had just circled a island.

Then about a month later, I went to a mall in Novi. The valet brought up my

car.

I asked if I would be able to get back on west bound 12 Mile rd where the

light was. He told me yes, just do a Michigan. I'm thinking this is

something

new. As I was born in this state. Its sure was new to me. LOL

LOL I hear some pretty scathing remarks about CA (and its residents)

which leads me to believe that a lot of people just plain don't cotton

to us. I've even heard it said, during earthquakes, firestorms, and

floods, that we're obviously getting what we deserve in all our iniquity,

which leads me to believe that a lot of people wouldn't bother praying

for us.

All I know is that whenever my family travels to other parts of the

country, people ask where we're from. When we say CA they either act like

it's someplace exotic and bizarre, or they act astonished and say

things like, " But you seem so NORMAL. " <G>

p.s. I wasn't born here but my husband, my sons, and my brother are all

natives

Hey now! I live in NY state and I don't stick my head out the window and

gesture. That's NYC - BIG DIFFERENCE!!!! Those folks scare me to death! I

haven't yelled at anyone in ages. I usually sit there looking REALLY

confused. So many people look like they are lost. And it isn't just folks in

NY. I have this happen in MA, VT and RI. Maybe it's a New England thing

where we are all lost...lol I have never heard of that Michigan thing. I

know Jersey has that concrete wall up dividing the state. They make you

drive 800 miles out of your way to go right. Makes me nuts. So I stay out of

Jersey..lol PA is ALWAYS under construction. Any idea if they will ever

finish 81? I may not live long enough..

There are 2 seasons on Michigan roads - winter and construction and I'm not

sure but I think that construction orange is the state color LOL
