As you read this I will be traveling the heartland on my way back to New Jersey after my extended stay in my home town. I went to two funerals. I saw aunts and uncles in their final chapters. I sang karaoke with a four-year old clearly in her opening act. Who's sister had to whisper the words in her ear because she cant read yet. And I ate a bunch of greasy, Midwest food. The only thing gluten free was the silverware. To everything turn, turn, turn.
My drive will be rambling from route this to route that. I love taking the back roads. I love the scenery. I love rolling the dice with a Garmen that hasn't been updated since 2003. I love beating the $30 each way toll on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Seriously. How can that be a toll. I don't know how the booth employees keep a straight face. Maybe that is why E-ZPass was invented. The employees kept laughing at the cars going by. At this point they are just trying to see what they can get away with. Like the wedding cake people do.
Speaking of Garmen. Are they in cahoots with toll roads or what? I can be a quarter mile from my destination and that damn box whats me to bang a U-ey and take a toll road. Everybody's got an angle. Salt air here I come.
