SO, I've had enough driving for a while. Not so much the act of driving, but putting up with everyone else who is also driving. Two weeks ago we drove to the family reunion in Montana. Rented a big ol minivan. Dad and I did all the driving, well he did a large chunk of it and I took over while he napped. Still 20ish hours each way.

This last weekend I went out to Minnesota. It's about 400 miles or so. It took 7 hours there and 8+ home. It usually doesn't take that long. I don't know what it is but Wisconsin, I'm sure it happens other places too, but I almost always run into it on WI, has points in the interstate where everyone stops. There isn't an accident, or construction, or a lane reduction or even vehicle broken down or pulled over ... just people stopped. Seriously.. if there is no outside reason for there to be a parking lot in a 65mph speed limit then everyone should be able to go in the forward direction.

The weekend was fun though. Celebrating the Fourth of July in a state that it's legal to buy and blow things up with fireworks is a pretty good thing. Apparently MN has some rules that are a little stricter than Wisconsin but yeah, still some good stuff.

Ugh anyway.. home, back to work.. yay work....... right.

I got a call from Dad while I was driving home and he was asking if I was going to stop by the house to meet the new dog. This was news to me as no one said they were getting another dog, but apparently they did. His co worker had to get rid of their pug due to changing living situations so yeah. I'll have to stop by next weekend. luckily Saturday's game is an early one so that works out. Should be a good time. Always enjoy animals. Animals and little kids love me after all.

Almost time to go get killed at Jitz. I'd actually been doing well the last few weeks, but two weeks off by it self is going to pretty much kick my ass, not to mention you know, the guys attempting to choke me or bend limbs in sub optimal directions. Good times.
