Yesterday, Tuesday, we did a tour of the Hyundai plant in Montgomery. While it was similar to the tour we had done at Honda in Alliston, the method of getting place to place was different. Here they use a "train", while at Honda, you walked the tour. It seemed to be a pleasant place to work. They really stress the quality of the cars, with QC being done throughout the whole manufacturing process. We weren't allowed pictures in the plant. The bus tour we did of Montgomery before going to the car plant was very interesting as well. It certainly is a clean city with a mix of new and old architecture mixed together. While there we visited the museum of civil rights woman Rosa Parks. She's the woman that lead the bus boycott in '65. The two pictures here are of what happens to an awning when left open during a 40-50 MPH wind and the second is of raw cotton as it grows . I should explain that the collapsed awning was on the trailer opposite us. There were actually two like that and they were beside each other...you really have to retract these things during (or before) high wind
