I flew to Detroit on Saturday to spend some time with relatives. I was steeled for draconian Homeland Security bullshit but I only had to show my ID twice during the whole trip.

My sister Mary lives near Detroit Metro Airport; she picked me up Saturday night. I stayed at her place my entire five-day visit.

Sunday: Birthday cake at Aunt Grace's

Monday: Scott's new rocks

Tuesday: Port Huron freighters

Wednesday: Jannie gets her gun

Thursday: Mare's place
