Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 44 The Great Oolong

I stayed in Glacier Park in Montana for two days, and when I arrived in Washington, it was already August.

After arriving in Washington State, Carter realized that he had made a huge oolong.Washington State, located in the northwest of the United States, is Washington State, and Washington, D.C. is the District of Columbia. The capital, Washington, and the District of Columbia are not in Washington State at all, but near Maryland and Virginia, which he passed by before.

After Carter completed the check-in procedures in Seattle, the big city in Washington State, and heard the news from the lady at the front desk, he was all in Sparta.So, what is the meaning of rushing over here? !
Carter, who was so angry that he almost dropped his glass, returned to the room cursing. Coincidentally, at this time, the news that Paul Volcker was inaugurated as the 12th chairman of the Federal Reserve was being broadcast on TV, and he said that he would host the Fed a week later. The first meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee
This is like stabbing a knife in Carter's bleeding heart. I have worked so hard to cross half of the United States, from the southeast to the northwest, but when I look back, the place is dimly lit. In the southeast? ?

Even the joy of Paul Volcker taking the stage, as Carter had expected, was dulled by this point.Carter, who looks more and more depressed, is not even pleasing to the eyes of the warm and comfortable room:

"Melice, do you want to go out for a walk?"

"No, I'm so tired! I'm going to lie on the bed and can't get up!"

Melis, who slept in a sleeping bag in a park in Montana for a few days, was rolling wantonly on the bed. Whoever wants to separate her from the bed at this time will be the number one villain in the world!
"Then I'm going out, pay attention to your own safety, eat at the hotel at noon, don't run around!"

"I know, I know! You should go now!"

With a bang, the door of Melis' room was closed, and Carter went downstairs to drive.The city of Seattle is quite unfamiliar to Carter. Even in the memory of his previous life, it seems that this city only appeared in the TV series called "Legend of Bruce Lee".

Not knowing where to go, Carter simply looked for Bruce Lee.What about Wing Chun, "Hua~" sounds very exciting, and the depressed Carter also wanted to find a sandbag to vent.Of course, it's definitely not looking for Bruce Lee to pk, he hasn't lived to the point where his life is too long.

But look for Bruce Lee's boxing gym, ask a teacher, and punching the sandbags in the boxing gym seems to be good, right?And I have to say that Bruce Lee, a kung fu superstar, is not generally well-known in Seattle.

Any foreigner I found on the street would have heard of Bruce Lee's name. When they heard that he was looking for "Bruce Lee", they all nodded, patted their chests to show that they knew him, and pointed out the path to apprentice for Carter:

"Lakeview Cemetery! Bruce Lee is there, you go!"

Carter: .
Half an hour later, Carter looked at the birth and death years of 1940-1973 on the tombstone in front of him and fell into thought.After silently offering this first-generation Chinese kung fu superstar incense sticks bought in Chinatown, he left the cemetery even more depressed.

It seems that everything has gone wrong since entering Washington State.It’s okay to go to the wrong place for a big event, but for such a small hobby, Carter actually knew that Bruce Lee died young, but considering that the 80s are not here yet, it should be
Forget it, don't mention it!
Without Bruce Lee, Carter's impression of Seattle is basically close to nothing.If you don't want to go back to the hotel, you can only drive around indiscriminately.Not to mention, in the sparsely populated Northwest of the United States, the performance of the Mustang sports car has really been released.

On a road with little traffic, Carter kicked the floor oil, and the Mustang sports car roared forward.The speed starts at 80, soars all the way to 160, and is still gradually climbing
A sports car is a sports car. Only when you really run it can you feel the charm of a sports car.Opening the car window, listening to the whistling wind, Carter had a good experience of what speed and passion are.

Starting from Seattle, the further north you go, the less crowded you are.Because the north of Seattle is the border between the United States and Canada.Although the border between these two countries is in vain, don’t forget that the northern industrial areas of the United States are mainly in the New York-Baltimore-Chicago generation. Even though Seattle is very close to Vancouver, it’s not a car from here. many.

As long as there are not too many vehicles on the road to increase safety hazards, Carter doesn't care about a few speeding tickets now.Just galloping all the way, it didn't take long for Carter to leave the range of Seattle.After driving for another hour or so, we arrived at the US-Canada border.

It stands to reason that American citizens can go to Canada without a visa for six months.But Carter thought about it, he had nothing to do here, wouldn't it be more boring to go to Canada?Then turned back at the border checkpoint.
On the way back, Carter was not so lucky.The car was going fast, and Carter suddenly saw a police car with flashing lights behind his car in the rearview mirror.

Slowly slowing down and driving forward for a while, when Carter confirmed that the police car was following him, he had no choice but to pull over the car and stop.American police car inspections are very interesting. They don't know how to shout at all, they just turn on the police lights and follow you like a stalking idiot.You have to stop when you see it. If you keep running, you have a problem. The police even have the right to shoot or stop your car directly.
Just after Carter stopped the vehicle, the police car behind him also slowly followed Carter to a stop.After a while, a policeman stepped forward, touched the trunk, confirmed that it was closed tightly, and walked to Carter's driver's seat.Through the rearview mirror, Carter could see another policeman standing by the car door, staring at him.

Once he finds that the situation is wrong, Carter has no doubt that the policeman who stayed in the police car will take out a few big treasures from the car and give him a shuttle.
"Sir, please show your driver's license, driving license and vehicle insurance documents!"

Carter, with his hands on the steering wheel, heard what the police said, and slowly withdrew one hand and reached into the glove box to get his documents, and said:
"I'm going to get my documents in the glove box now, please rest assured, there is no weapon in my glove box, I will move slower."

Carter was a little thankful that he left the pistol in the hotel today and didn't carry it with him.Even though you have a gun license, it's hard to be sure that something will go wrong when the police check your car.If these policemen are too nervous, they see a gun before looking at your ID card, and then raise their hand to shoot twice, you have nothing to do
Seeing Carter's cooperation, the policeman standing beside Carter's vehicle nodded, motioning for Carter to continue.After a while, Carter slowly took out his ID from the glove box and handed it to the police. There was indeed no weapon in the open glove box.

The policeman who also saw this scene was much relieved, looked down at Carter's ID, and said in his mouth at the same time:

"You have been speeding significantly and have been suspected of driving illegally. Are there any prohibited items in the car?"

Speeding is nothing, it's normal, you should be fined, and Carter agrees.But the next two sentences made Carter frown:
"Officer, I'm speeding. Is there a drag racing there? Did you see other cars racing me? Also, there are no prohibited items in my car."

"Did you say that there is no one? We will look for evidence if it is a racing car, but now, I need to check your car!"

PS: I still haven't made the list after testing the waters, let's start the 2nd update tomorrow.Otherwise, it will be faster. If a push is not on the shelves, it will be too broken.
