After one of those trips from hell where you find yourself stranded in the US , wearing only shorts , T-shirt and sandals , carrying only a computer ( no toothbrush , sweater , or clean undies ) , at an airport thousands of miles from anywhere on your itinerary , getting to a hotel at 1 AM ( after a long argy-bargy with airline officials ) and being collected from it at 4 AM , with a dinner voucher and a breakfast voucher ( only to be used on that day , at that hotel ) , he eventually arrived at Calgary and set off in search of Anna . What we had n't realized was the extent to which the US goes wild at Halloween . So Ian stood down , collected US $ 500 , meal tickets , and a free hotel room ; and we spent an unscheduled extra day in the US . But it did n't really survive his absence , perhaps because a promised member of staff , who was supposed to be connected with the project , did n't materialize ( and still has n't ) . The RMOs are angry over the Health Departments failure to pay salaries as promised after their first walk out on June 7 . Another life experience was a ride in a combine harvester with Marie 's brother , with whom , at a tender and impressionable age , we had castrated cows and collected the prairie oysters in a rusty tin can way back in 1969 . The biggest hits were combined recorder / marimba items and musical stories with sound effects provided by unorthodox recorder techniques . The bulk of the signatures were collected in Ann Arbor , the most populous city in the district , but hundreds signed the petition in Monroe , an old industrial city 15 miles north of Toledo , Ohio , in Ypsilanti , home to several large auto plants , and in working class Detroit suburbs like Taylor and Inkster . A number of similar cases previously heard by the ERA have ruled in favour of workers unfair dismissal claims .
