Westward Ho!
So it’s 7:11 PM EST and we’ve been on the road now for a little over 10 hours. Total miles travelled? 442, which puts us just outside of Cleveland. Average speed? You can do the math. (If you can’t, that’s under 45 MPH.)
Traffic and weather have been the real culprits. At least twice we’ve spent too much time moving at a literal snail’s pace, first just outside of Scranton because of construction and then in western PA because of an accident. Each delay burned up an hour.
Right now Kathy’s at the wheel and we’re traveling at a steady 65. Plan is to push past Chicago by sometime late tonight and then hole up in a rest area somewhere.

What Delays Us
Rain has been the order of the day. In copious amounts. In fact, so much in a matter of about 20 minutes that our stream turned into a raging river. Fun, but we just now finished packing and it’s after 11:30. We’re packed now and ready to leave tomorrow morning.
Following, video of the perfect storm… Take special note of the stream in video 1 and the stream in video 3. Hmmm…

So What Happens If I Exchange The E’s For An A?
Interesting bit at TechCrunch about Twitter and the recent revelation that they are “uncomfortable with the use of the word Tweet,” in third-party Twitter apps. Seems to me that this ship may have already sailed.

And So It Begins…
Starting tomorrow, hopefully at some early-ish hour, we begin our bazillion mile cross country trip. As you can see by the map we’re being a bit ambitious, but it’s easier to be over ambitious and have to pull back the reins than it is to dream too small and go nowhere. With any luck we’ll see some of you along the way.
31 days on the road here we come!!
To there and back
