- I had an adventure in temperature and weather swings this week.
- It was 40 degrees and raining in Kentucky when I climbed in the car.
- It was -20 degrees and blowing snow drifts across the highway when I drove across North Dakota going west.
- It was 30 degrees and snowing sideways when I drove across North Dakota driving east.
- It was almost 50 degrees and sunny when I pulled into the hotel parking lot in Texas
- Ouch, my joints
- Driving is just a series of decisions.
- Do I pass the semi that is going 1 mile under the speed limit when there is a state trooper behind me?
- Do I slow down and put on my caution blinkers when the snow storm swirls so bad I can’t see the two semis in front of me anymore?
- Do I stop in Omaha after a nice day driving across America’s heartland, or do I test my manhood and go another 3 hours just to show I can?
- Do I listen to political podcasts to wile away the hours, or do I blast 80’s rock and sing along at the top of my lungs for 300 miles?
- Crossing the Red River of the North to get gas in Minnesota because I missed the exit in Fargo and don’t want to lose time by going back, then crossing the Red River to go from Oklahoma to Texas 24 hours later was kind of surreal.
- It’s all fun and games until you zip your beard into your jacket.
- Note to self – being smart and laying out an extra sweatshirt to wear in the car so you don’t have to wear your jacket while driving only works if you remember to pick up the sweatshirt before leaving the house.
- Supplementary note – Truck stop sweatshirts are quite pricy and smell sort of funny.
- Note to the Wendy’s in South Dakota – Hamburger buns aren’t supposed to be crunchy.
