1 lunch at the world's biggest truck stop somewhere in Iowa.
7 times that I think I might have slightly fallen asleep at the wheel.
3.5 hours of sleep during the 37 hours.
1 call in to a radio show from Texas hosted by Charlie Jones.
2 CD's listened to, due to the fact I was too lazy to reach into the backseat for one of the CD storage cases.
Zero visions that I can recall. I did think I saw a dancing man at some point, but it was just a trick of the light
and a telephone poll.
Zero roadkill/Bobkill.
Millions upon millions of dead bugs covering the front portion of the car.
2 times that I passed safely by a radar gun (that I know of).
12 hours spent listening to AM radio because I thought some of it would be interesting.
36.5 hours kicking myself for leaving 80 degree weather for snow and temperatures in the 20's.
And there you have my trip in a nutshell. Now I have to get used to new things like "Michigan Turns"
where you can't make a left turn at an intersection and have to go through the intersection and make a u-turn a
little ways up the next block and come back the way you were in order to make that left hand turn which is now
a right hand turn. Supposedly it's safer but to me it just makes things a little more screwed up for those people
who like things simplified. I just don't like having to go somewhere to go back somewhere where you've already
been in order to go where you wanted to go.
I'll probably figure it out eventually but for now I have the out-of-state license plates as my excuse. This way
I can purposely make mistakes until I feel comfortable and the Michigonians have no choice but to smile and cut
me some slack. If not, then they can flip me off and I'll just shrug my shoulders, smile and wave back at 'em.
This is short since I'm suffering from car lag. Next week's will be juicy and chock full of goodness and that's
my solemn promise to each and everyone of you.
COMING NEXT: Hey! Milk crates??!!
