I'd love to see Rob come out with the Red Wings flag we threw up to Glenn at The Joe during the Epitaph tour. I told Rob why we threw it up there- that had he held it up the crowd would have gone NUTS!!! I wonder what they did with it. Some of Mike Davis' friends suggested that they used it as nice satin toilet paper  What do you want from Kings fans, pfffft.
Niiiiiice commercial, isn't it?! Only saw it on Fox Sports Detroit, no other channels, but I almost shit!! Haven't heard a word about it otherwise.

BTW, I meant to say that they work this site only once a MONTH as they discover so much it takes the rest of the year to clean / process, etc. I just happened to luck out as it was July (and not raining) so we could see them at work.

By no means. The wood was usually a walkway across a grid that was marked off by letter (depth) and number (horizontal location). A smaller site from where I took the last picture is clearer:
Now here is that same site as before (just a bit up the road) where you can clearly see one guy working his section of the "grid." Apparently, he found something as there is a person standing there noting where he found it as well as a guy on that metal platform next to him on a computer marking it on a 3D grid (you can only see his foot really):
Wide view of same site:
Maybe the guy found......this!  AHHHHHHHHH!

I studied there in HS. Love the city. Photo, obviously, after the game (facing the corner where Franco's image is mounted, BTW).

Right next to the Fox and across from Comerica Park. Hockeytown (got me a new puck!). Anyone who speaks shit about Detroit has no idea of the city itself. Ooooooh, dangerous looking, no?

Deportation of a U.S. Citizen. HA! Well, since you have no actual country to be deported to, I suppose they'll have to send you to one of our many tropical U.S. owned paradises. Pick Virgin Isles.
That selling coconuts by the sea dream could have been within your reach if you played your cards right.

Best part was that I had to sign away my rights to be deported if I lied. Where the hell would they deport me to?!? Guantanamo?! Haiti?!? HAAAAA!!!!
At least the "aduanero" had the sense to crumple it up and throw it away before I could make a comment. Growing up so close to Canada, you learn quickly that they have NO sense of humor. Especially at 4am when I passed through.

Diving off the island of Utila, Honduras, compadres. Roatan last year was cool but this is just a little slip of an island surrounded by coral reefs. What a blast! Talk about an island paradise. Long commute including a cessna plane / sweat bucket with props but worth the trip!
Hope to see some whale sharks this time around!

Oh, I have a ton but just not from this trip. You can go up to Corcovado (the statue of Christ) but just to the platform - not a hollow statue like the Statue of Liberty, for example. You can also go up Pão de Azúçar. Been to both a few times in the past - once for me and another when I had a friend come to run the Rio marathon. Usually, you do both attractions the same day as they are in Rio. The pictures I posted are from across the bay and it is a long commute thanks to the traffic. The trifecta of attractions is to include the infamous stadium, Maracaná. You normally have to hire a driver as the drug lords rule the spots, especially the drive up to Christ, and kidnappings and random violence are not uncommon.
I'll dig up some old pictures when I get a chance. The statue is absolutely huge. Keep in mind that those shots are from across the bay and that gives you an idea. The museum is on the side of Niterói. Corcorvado and Pão de Azúçar are WAY off in the distance 25-30km at LEAST.

@Guido. You know I'm not religious so I was never interested in that statue but the view from up there has to be incredible. I've seen photos from up close but wasn't sure if general public was able to go to the top. If so any pics?
