Leaving the Mo"town"soon

Waiting for my flight to London at the airport. It was a little difficult to explain the security personnel why I did not have an American visa on my passport but they decided to let me go after an extensive search. Those new x-ray cabins that spray strange stuff on suspicious passengers are pretty futuristic, I am glad that they keep me updated about the latest technology in homeland security each time I travel somewhere. I'll definitely feel neglected if I don't get those frantic red marks on my ticket one day.

By the way, let's hope that the landlord will fix the cracks in the outer wall of my apartment while I am away. It has been pouring heavily almost everyday for the past couple of weeks in Detroit and my windows started leaking. I've mastered the technique of collecting rain water in buckets and drying the floor with rags in the last 4 days, which undoubtedly will become useful one day. Especially if this strange weather change becomes permanent due to global warming. You might start hearing about the monsoon season In Detroit after all, as it certainly felt tropical if not monsoon-like throughout the entire month.

I'll meet Emrah at the Leicester Square metro station in London tomorrow morning. It will be nice to spend a day with Emrah and Sevi before taking the train to Glasgow the next day. Since they just moved to their new house, there won't be any internet access but I'll try to keep you informed about my trip.
