Drive, Drive, Drive

DATELINE: GASTON, IN, 4:32 p.m.

Miles Today: 520

G'day, readers. It's been an uneventful day, thankfully, considering the weather in this part of the country yesterday. I must commend the state of Indiana for the fine job they've done getting their interstate highways clear so quickly and so well. I had no trouble at all getting here, which is about halfway between Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. "Here" is a Petro truck stop, another national chain. They have a Taco Bell Express here, and I was feeling the urge for a burrito, so that made my decision easy to stop here for the night. Besides, I had been driving for 10 hours already, and I was getting tired. So here I am.

As I said, it was an uneventful day, all driving, save for some rest stops and a traffic jam in Nashville. So I have nothing else to report. I am looking forward to getting home for a couple days next week for my youngest daughter's birthday--sweet 16!--which happens to fall on Ash Wednesday. How's that for a day to set the mood to celebrate your birthday? But we'll make it special for her.

That's all for now. Thanks again for your patronage, and keep on truckin'.

I bet you'll have clear roads for the last leg of your trip (and I'm thankful for the Indiana road crews too - sounds like they take winter seriously). 5 more days...

Hey John, getting ready to head to Nashville next week. I usually load up the MP3 player with old (40s-60s) radio shows. Helps pass the time when we won't be in the car long enough for a book.

Anyway, if you're interested I'll send you a CD to the address in the M4M directory.

Happy driving. And a very happy birthday to J. :-) 16 is fun.
