I'm in freakin' Iowa, that's where. God, I hate Iowa, but not as much as Nebraska! Wyoming gets a pass because it touches Colorado and my adopted home of Utah. How I love Utah and it's beautiful mountains! Please, no more endless flat fields of nothing! No more grey vistas of roiling thunderclouds. An end, for the love of all that is good, to rest stops in BFE with tornado warnings on the state-run weather channel. Yes, goodbye northern Midwest, you can have it.
BUT! wonder of wonders IA has wireless at the rest stops, and despite big signs on the highway saying the wireless is only available from 9-5, it is a solid 2:44am and I am having the time of my life, online. Blistering 11mbps means no waiting to catch up on all the online bills in my inbox! I love technology.
Truck is running ok, but did NOT like the tornado-related 40mph headwinds earlier today. Seems to be doing fine now, running cool at 75mph, but hesitating slightly upon uphill acceleration. Last time I noticed that, it ate 3 valves. If that happens again, I think I'll just open the door and fall out, because that would be an unmitigated disaster.
so yeah, I'm like almost 3 weeks behind on this trip, but I think I can still get done in time. 20 hour days! AWESOME!!!! I can't wait to get started.
But then, it beats the 35-42hr days I just did at the print shop, printing books. Or does it? Oh gosh I don't know.
at any rate, I'm tired, so screw you guys! Especially Brett and his big gay uncle. Hi sweetie! Wish you were all here, it would make this awesome rest stop like maybe oh, one TRILLION times more awesome, then I'd overamp on awesomeness and pass out. Having a hard time sleeping, I think this bleeding ulcer might be keeping me awake.
