The Fam at Cracker Barrel!...Nothing like Cracker Barrel
“The Across America Edition”
Good Morning!
T-minus-36 until “The Mid Valley Classic”
Boy, AT&T is going to have to do a lot o explaining…I’m really ticked off at those guys…
First thing I noticed about this trip is whatever happened to “The Middle of Nowhere”?
I’m not as culturally aware as amigos, Barker, Peterson, Villathedevil, or even Scanlan when it comes to burning cash, but I did have a memory of someplace between civilization and Las Vegas on I-15 there specifically being a place called “The Middle of Nowhere”.
Heading out on vacation Sunday night, we didn’t reach “The Middle of Nowhere” until someplace between Las Vegas and the Utah border.
Anyone fearful of over population needs to drive through Utah…You will enjoy the sunrise…
The people in Denver did seem depressed…Dealing a frontline quarterback because of the new HC’s insecurity can do that to you…They still have “Trail Dusters” and 20-ounce sirloins…
Note (Actual sign on the road) when driving through eastern Colorado: “Correctional Facility: Do Not Pick up Hitchhikers”… So I scratched it off the list of things to do…
“The greenest stuff you ever saw,” says Roy Hobbs
North Platte, Nebraska…neat little town…and the home of Fort Cody, keeper of the Buffalo Bill Cody Museum…Free…
Nebraska and Iowa (first time in both) were beautiful…Including Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha… but I need to see a little more before I label them Heaven…
The Cornhuskers, and even the Hawkeyes, are a religion here…
You can keep northern Indiana…
South Bend (sucks) has so many cars I thought I was in Glendale during mid day…I have a new appreciation for my hatred for Notre Dame…
Cracker Barrel cures all ailments…
However, toll roads are a threat to the American way of life…If anybody from the east ever says something bad about the west, tell them we don’t have toll roads like I-90 (from Chicago through New York, to New England)…These booths are the equivalent of a daily hold up…(Oh, I’m stressed…)…
So Prince Fielder had a problem with the Dodgers? Sorry, haven’t been able to keep up…When traveling through tornado country Weather Channel super-cedes all sports info…
Playing the out of state license plate game worked until we came to a sedan from Minnesota…seeing how Al Franken is now a United States senator from the “Land of a Thousand Lakes” I just didn’t have the energy to score it…
