The interesting point has to do with special projects added to the bill late in the game. Apparently there was a mixup in somebody's office and some of Michigan's extra projects were chosen from a list of priority projects that was slightly outdated. The bottom (punch) line is that three of Michigan's millions are now earmarked for the US-131 Freeway to rural highway transition, which is well underway. Jenelle and I drove this section of road two weeks ago and it is looking very good. Unfortunately, these funds are labeled specifically for that project, apparently, so it looks like Michigan just contributed $3 million more dollars to the donee states. If anybody ever has an inside story, please don't hold back...I eat this stuff up.

This week has been shy on daily routine updates, so here we go:
Monday = Jenelle came down + frisbee + fajitas.
Tuesday = work + MBA prep + riding around.
Wednesday = work + GSRA * (final draft + simulations) + new fuel filter - success + MBA writing assessment.
Thursday = work + lunch at Evergreen - bill + thanks Prof Lamb + packing + errands - ice cream.
