Around the neighborhood 7 - Michigan
Apr 23 2009 23:58 | 87 Comments
Tomorrow, or the day after that will get back to posting the Japanese photo walk articles. Today will post a slightly different walk around the neighborhood. After that will post about noodles.
At the time of me being in Japan few month back, there were next to no show at all. Only once snow fell and melted a few minutes later. When I got back, to Michigan snow awaited me. Lots of it. Enough enough snow for someone to build something along the lines of an igloo.
A tank. This one I can kind of justify. He has a 40-ish foot long (about 13 meters) boat which he once in a blue moon takes out for a weekend. So I guess you need such a huge car to tow it. But his other car is an F250 which is just driven back and forth to work. Never have I seen anything in the back of it. Yaay at 10MPG going downhill!
Some crappy driver hit the stop sign.
More snow.
And even more.
Mail boxes in snow.
Even more snow!
More SUVs.
Another tank. A dirty one at that.
Someone crashed somewhere. This is one of the things I noticed in Japan. If anyone gets their car damaged, they instantly go out and fix it. In US it seems like no-one gives a crap about their car. They're almost dirty (at least in the upper states). If its damaged it can stay like that for months and years at a time... quite sad.
The car isn't even that old, but it already has rust holes in it.
Huge icicles on a house.
Leafs left over from fall.
Come on! If you're gonna dump your crap like that, at least put it in one pile, why should the person collecting the trash run around your lawn collecting your shit.
Huge ugly garbage bins.
More SUVs/tanks. A Chevy Blazer, a Chevy TrailBlazer, and a GMC Acadia. It's not that I'm against SUVs or anything, but I just don't don't get what goes though the heads of the people buying them. I mean ok, if you have a big family, fine, if you need to haul around large heavy things, fine. If there's already 2-3-4 huge SUVs in the household, WHY get another one if all you're gonna doing with it is driving back and forth to work when for the same money you can get a much, MUCH, more comfortable sedan/wagon. Maybe they think that the bigger something is the better it is? Maybe they think that each foot of the car directly reflects on the length of their dolphin? "MOAR! MOAR! MOAR!"?
Kinda looks like the dog is wearing glasses.

Oh No, Don't be showin' no snow. I've had enough of that stuff for awhile.
Don't make me send you back to Japan.
Matthew
No wonder you wanted to get out of town and go off to Japan
Jamaipanese
wow i've never seen the white cold stuff in real life, one day I hope.
I'm hoping all the snow is gone now and it's nice and warm?
julio
i love snow... but in spain's coast is hard to get to see much :(
Mary
Ahh I;m not from Michigan, but close. I'm from Ohio and this pretty much looks like my winter:-p
I moved though and wont see this in the City(NYC) Do you miss seeing this while living in Japan?
Michael Flux
@MikeD
Oh please do! ^_^
@Jamaipanese
Not really warm atm, only around 10-15C, but its getting there. And hey, I'll trade Jamaica for Michigan any day of the week! :p
@julio
You can always go up to Sweden, its only a day away by car. ^_^
@Mary
Me? Miss this? No way! I would love to never see it again! ^_^
Moign Khawaja
Man! This is some heavy snowfall. Reminded me of the days in Finland. Snow and aurora made my days so colourful. Miss them a lot...:(
Btw, this neighbourhood is not impressive at all if compared to the Japanese one you've shown. Any light on reasons for being so crappy?
