For the love of God man, you didn’t tell me you were traveling with others in the car for two weeks! I thought maybe a week, maybe at a stretch 8 days, but only if the beer and prozac didn’t run out.
People who have tried traveling with me and Mrs. Grouse can’t seem to make it past the Beresford exit before flinging themselves from the moving car onto the interstate into the paths of semi-trucks, screaming “I just can’t take it anymore!”
It all starts by the second Tea exit. Mrs. Grouse will start it off by wondering if she turned off something electrical. By the Lennox exit, she’s asking if I know how fast I’m going and do I think I could stop that obnoxious humming of “Sugar in the Morning” by the McGuire Sisters? Then it gets ugly.
By the Canton exit my breathing in and then out again is really getting to her. “Breathe in or breathe out…Pick one…then stop.” Sure, I need to stop for another diet Mt. Dew and a potty break at Beresford, but no one’s perfect. Not even me. There I said it.
I was going to offer you the use of my .22 automatic pistol to place under the seat just in case you ran into trouble, but after finding out that this was a two-week trip, I’m kinda glad I didn’t.
And watch out for the GPS system. The shortest distance feature can hurl you onto dirt roads the local county sheriff didn’t know existed. And the farther south you go, the more dangerous that becomes. Most of the stills are gone, but doesn’t mean the marijuana ranchers and meth cookers are anxious to see a red Lincoln Town Car with out of state plates piloted by a Norwegian who’s really pissed off because he’s lost. A couple of years ago, I wanted to use the interstate around Phillie, but my GPS system, programed as they all are by the Taliban, propelled me into the heart of downtown Philly. Let me just say that there were no other Norwegians in sight. Traffic was bumper to bumper. There were no Nordic halls. No lutefisk feeds. Ever.
On the other hand, the fastest time feature could lure you into traveling an extra 400 miles each and every day.
I’m gonna give you a call tomorrow with a sure fire money making deal for you and Denny and the chicks that will not only pay for the trip, but will give you something else to think about other than killing each other and getting away with it…courtesy of Kum and Go Convenience Stores.
Well, keep an eye on that hot radiator. Hopefully you’ve brought along a nice bag of marshmallows and a few hot dogs just in case.
