Blu, I was staying in Monroe - lovely place. Really enjoyed my time there.

I still have a few videos of myself shooting Garands and FALs and handguns if anyone wants to see them.

The flag in the video is wrong, I didn't make the video, but the one hanging up on the "house" is correct, I hung it.

I'm not a student, I work for the government... which, come to think of it, means I do the same amount of work as a student, or lack there of. tongueout

Welcome back. Nope, we do not want to see them, keep them to yourself please.

Yes, of course we want to see them, PRETTY PLEASE:)

They have an awesome science museum, awesome historical museum (Abraham Lincoln's deathbed is there), loads of donuts shops, awesome coffee and fries with cheese YUM.
You gotta try the trains that run in a loop downtown. Al Capone museum, was ok. Hockey stadium. Sears Tower. Out of this world shopping!
The most amazing blues joints ever with pool tables covering several floors, excellent theater, stand up comedy.

I spent 6 months there, enjoyed most of my time, not too keen on the shootings that took place.
Do not use the trains when dark descends.

Guns...try the Al Capone museum :lol:

The Sears Tower is now called the Willis Tower - after a British company

If you get the chance go up to the 103rd floor viewing deck and there is glass balcony outside the structure - walk out of you dare.

I never knew that. Isn't that a sacrilege?

The view is amazing from up there!

Tower, Yeah I know Monroe. I'm glad you had a great time mate, Michigan is a really beautiful State. If you ever get the chance to come back then try and get up into Northern Michigan, it's absolutely stunning up here. Glad you arrived home safely.

Okay - as soon as my laptop stops playing Silly Buggers I'll actually load some videos and photos.

All pics and vids were taken on my mobile, can I get them onto my laptop so I can upload them? No.

Can't do it wirelessly, I keep gettint a system error. Can't do it via USB transfer as the laptop doesn't have the software to handle it - keeps telling me to insert disc. When I click on "don't have disc, find solution elsewhere" I get nadda.

Sigh - I'll give it to a techy friend and hopefully he'll sort it out.
