the good, the bad, and the ugly

[seXieleXie]

so i feel the need to share about my oddessy across the contenent. if this doesn't interest you, move along.


the good
the great salt desert
the great salt lake
niagara falls, ontario
chicago
lake michigan
the rockies at sunrise
western wyoming
alex
kotori
cheffie


the bad
california route 4 through the sierra
nevada, east of about carson city
denny's (anywhere)
niagara falls, new york
nebraska


the ugly
running out of gas on the side of I-80
walking 3 miles to a rest stop when you discover your cell phone has no reception in nebraska
high winds and wrestling with the steering wheel
hydroplaning


random thoughts:

iowa had the most corn
michigan had the most adult stores (what's up with that?)
canada was dissapointingly american
nebraska smelled the worst
chicago was the only place we visited that i would want to live in for a long period of time
i still like california the best


that is all.

I'm STILL not in the ugly catgory.

Never ask two people who at best live 5 hours from the said city to pick someone up late at night.

I'm starting to really like you, Lexie. Anyone who can put the muppet in his place and try to convinve him he's not ugly is a good one in my book.

 

[seXieleXie]

the muppet just wants his ego stroked

You can call him ugly and still believe,

most others do.

Are you sure it's just his ego he wants to have stroked?

 

[seXieleXie]

well, he may want more, but not from me

Crap, I'm gonna have to go to Wisconsin and visit my aunt again one of these days. I need to get to an adult store.

Just drive up one of the interstates. They're all over.

They're easy to see, too, because they tend to have bright pink buildings.

No stroking the felt. I'll have to rebrush.

And Raw, Michigan is worse...

I've lived in both states. Michigan may have more billboards, but I've had several people comment to me about their first visit to Wisconsin. Most of them have mentioned the adult book stores.

Drive across northern Minnesota and North Dakota. That'll make driving through IL look exciting.

One of the worst things about driving through IL is that you go 90 miles between gas station or rest stops. That's tough for young kids or people with weak bladders.
