If you weren't a 15 hour drive away I'd be there.
I know right, they should be working on Portal Technology by now.

Look, all I'm saying is that Phineas and Ferb built a portal to Mars that ran on 110V wall power. We should at least be able to build a portal to Michigan that runs on 220.

I'm really too old to know about Phineas & Firb, so I blame it on the fact that have have kids. Even though they watch it because I pick it. ⚗?

Who, me and Rusty? I doubt that. It is 6 hours from me to Erie, 13 hours to Chicago, by car. If I take the turnpike the whole way Vienna Junction is a little less than 7 hours, which means anything NW of Ann Arbor is about 9 hours.

Rusty is close to the state line, less than an hour from me. back during the 55mph era I regularly made it from south east Michigan to Breezewood in about 6 hours. not saying I actually drove 55 though. that was before they rebuilt the section east of Allegheny tunnel.


and I should type faster, Rusty beat me.

there are 2 Vienna Junctions in Michigan. one is a nice vacation area in the middle of the lower peninsula. the other,,,how in hell did you come up with that one? I have driven thru it and didn't know it existed.

That's exactly how I came up with it. I pulled up a map of the US and started zooming in on the SE corner of Michigan until I found the town closest to the corner.
