They're coming, They're coming

Big, Big News! It seems that Opa and Oma Lewis are coming to see me in February! Isn't that grand! They must really love me to travel half way around the world to see me. They will be making quite the epic journey. It all starts out, in from what I can tell is the center of the universe, Wright City, Mo. Formerly the home of world famous attractions Big Boys restaurant and The Elvis is Alive Museum (I guess he really is dead now), Wright City continues to grow despite losing its two most famous landmarks. Maybe Saipan could learn a lesson or two from the jewel of Interstate 70 between St. Charles and Columbia.

Next, their trip will take them to the Capital of the middle Midwest between Minneapolis, Chicago, and Kansas City; St.Louis. They will fly out Lindbergh Airport, named for the famous aviator Chuck Yeager. After leaving St. Louis, they will head for the Motor City, that's right Detroit, MI : MOTOWN. Home to such legendary acts as The Supremes, The Temptations and the master of Funk; Rick James. Unfortunately, Mr. James will not be appearing at an Indian Casino near you like the other acts any time soon. Rick James is dead. Now that's Superfreaky.

After the home of the Big 3, Opa and Oma will be taking the trans Alaskan route to Nagoya, Japan. Now, it took a lot of research for my staff at Karsten2008 to be able to say something brusque about Nagoya, But after weeks of research, here it is. Nagoya is "famous" for two things. One, it is the 4th largest city in Japan at 2.4 million people. WOW, that's like twice as many than live on Saipan, ney! Two, it is the home port of the Toyota corporation. Now, for those loyal Americans out there who have never heard of Toyota, it is a little car manufacturing company from Japan. It's not American owned or anything!? None of my readers, loyal Americans and foreigners loyal to the US all I'm sure,would ever skip over the high quality products of GM, Ford and .... well those two American companies to buy a Japanese car (Please note, at the time of the publishing of this blog, Yugo's buyout of Ford was still in the works, and America may only have one car company left). But, if you have, here is where your Judas, Benedict Arnold, traitor, turncoat, backstabbing car came from!

Finally, they will arrive here on the island of Saipan. The Jewel of the American Pacific not including the Hawaiian Islands, American Samoa, The Freely Associated States, or any other Mariana Island. Here they will enjoy all that the second world has to offer, including periodic power outages, non potable water, various forms of pidgin (unfortunately, not the bird). I can't wait, PLEASE HURRY OPA & OMA
