After a few rough years, my cousins and their son Jim decided it’d best if he tried the rigid structure of the military.  Since he’d never been one for following rules, we wondered how he’d adjust.  It wasn’t long before we got our answer.  Once he’d completed basic training, he took a two-day drive across the country to his new assignment.  Mid-morning on the second day, my cousin was surprised to receive a call from his son, who was still at his hotel.  Why aren’t you on the road yet?”  he asked.  Well, I’m all ready to go, Dad,” Jim replied, “but the sign on the door says, “Checkout at 11:00 AM.”
