I recently attended a training class at one of the State of Michigan conference centers.  Since I had never been there before, I needed directions.

Everyone told me that it was at the end of the road and through the gate.  That  sounded easy enough.  But, when I drove through the gate, all I found was a large vehicle maintenance garage.  But, I did notice another sign pointing me through the next gate followed by another sign pointing me through another gate.

Finally, I arrived at the conference center.  But, as I parked my car, I realized that I was the only person there.  Lots of gates and high fences but no people.

I tried the front door but a sign announced that the building was closed.  Then I  wondered, why three sets of gates and three sets of fences?  Why is the door locked?  What are these people afraid of?  I got back into my car and locked the doors.  I spent the next 20 minutes surveying the country side.

I guess I watched too many horror movies as a kid.
