Quote: The Camel's hump is an ugly lump
Which well you may see at the Zoo;
But uglier yet is the hump we get
From having too little to do.
Kiddies and grown-ups too-oo-oo,
If we haven't enough to do-oo-oo,
We get the hump—
Cameelious hump—
The hump that is black and blue!
-Kipling
It was broke, so I fixed it.

FYI for those not in the US if you do not know
Hump day was around long before Mr Trump ran for office. It indicated the week was half over.
This may not need said, but I am a deplorable in middle America, so I must not know anything.

No i didnt know. I was just referring to donnald. Nor do i know for sure what you mean. But i guess you intended "week half over".

I did get what you meant. 
Hump day has been around long enough they had an annoying commercial where a camel was walking through an office asking people what day it was. I do not remember what the commercial was for, just that it was annoying.

So I arrived yesterday in Detroit for my first time in the USA ( actually first time in the continent).
I am going "Wow, this is big" for about everything for the moment (roads, cars, hotel rooms, ...)- stereotypes, here we go -, but I think I will slowly get used to it.
Something worth seeing in Detroit or in the area that I should not miss ? I'll be staying until end of next week, so the oncoming weekend will be dedicated to visiting. I was thinking driving over to Chicago (maybe seeing O'Hare in real life, after hundreds of flight simulator hours trying to land on it when I was little  ) to get the big-city-with-tall-towers-kind-of-feeling.

I envy you a lot. I wish I could visit Chicago, at least I'd visit the city whew my favourite fantasy saga is set into (the saga is "Dresden Files" for the curious).

The Dresden Files was a good series of books, and a good (but unrelated) TV series. If they had stayed closer to the books they might even have got a second series, and then it could have got interesting! Pity really.

You forget the awful casting  BTW The Dresden Files is a good series, it's ongoing and I'm craving for Jim Butcher to finish the next one

I'm still waiting for "Peace Talks", never mind "Mirror, Mirror" ...

BTW: If you liked Dresden, have a look at the "Supernatural Investigation Series" by Justin Gustainis[^] - it's not bad!

Thank you.
It's a while I'm looking for something similar... and being given an advice like this from a person who I esteem a lot promises really well.

Wasn't it cancelled in Chapter 8 or so? I liked it as well, but never saw anything else...

There are fifteen books: dresden files books - Google Search[^] - which were the "basis" for the TV series. And while I enjoyed the TV, the books were a whole load better!

Actually Butcher is writing the 16th, he has plans for 19-20 short novels like the one he's writing now and an ending apocalyptic trilogy for which the titles will be "Stars and Stones", "Hell's Bells" and "Empty Night" [JB said "they are called curses for a reason"].

You're welcome - here in Italy there is no edition of The Dresden Files. I discovered it through tvtropes, downloaded them in "ebook" and then ordered the whole bunch from Amazon to my great impoverishment.
