24 Hours / 7 States / 192 Oz. Of Tea

We made it down in one piece and in one shot. No stopovers for this guy. I soldiered on into the night and hit The Krupps around 4:15am. Just shy of the 24 hour mark since waking up at 4:30 that morning, driving Laura to work, running a few errands, packing the car, picking Laura back up at work and hitting the road. Tea helped. So did the A-list, which I'm proud to say topped out at 184 without a single skipped track, except for Van Morrison's Caravan, which just didn't seem as much the proper 4am arrival tune as did Belle & Sebastian.

This here is Laura & Yuula sleeping. Laura is under the white comforter.


Some things we learned on the road:
  • gas station employees will tell you their life story if you give them the time of day
  • adding a papasan cushion to anything makes instantly cozy
  • it's disturbing to get yourself into a They Might Be Giants/Deerhoof loop
  • gas station attendants will kidnap your child if you ask them to
  • Yuula likes Fraggles
  • people in Kentucky have issues identifying male versus female
  • there's no need for the southern third of Virginia
  • the realistic ramifications of teleportation would be devastating to not only our economy but society as a whole

That's all for now. More later.
