The Christmas trip. Part I

Erin and I just drove up a rental car from Tucson, AZ to Kenosha WI. for the holiday.

A few bulleted points/thoughts

1. A 28 hour, non-stop drive is beastly long, even if you drive/sleep in shifts
2. Officer Johnson of the New Mexico Highway Patrol can eat our collective ass!
3. The stretch of road in NM between Deming and Hatch is a speed trap. (see above)
4. While driving in Texas, we passed a pick-em-truck with a bumper sticker that said "Extremely Right Wing". I think thats Texan for white-power.

If the US was a school, Texas would be the special ed class
"Don't meth wuth Tek-nath"


5. Oklahoma is boring
5a. Tulsa has a surprisingly large and interesting looking downtown
5b. The Quiznos in Elk City is run by Jesus Freaks


6. Driving through winter thunderstorms in Missouri, while jacked up on coffee, but with no real sleep is devilishly frightening

7. Illinois is almost as dull as Oklahoma

8. Next Christmas is in Tucson
