The Fam at Cracker Barrel!...Nothing like Cracker Barrel<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cThe Across America Edition\u201d<\/p>\n

Good Morning!<\/p>\n

T-minus-36 until \u201cThe Mid Valley Classic\u201d<\/p>\n

Boy, AT&T is going to have to do a lot o explaining\u2026I\u2019m really ticked off at those guys\u2026<\/p>\n

First thing I noticed about this trip is whatever happened to \u201cThe Middle of Nowhere\u201d?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m 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 \u00a0someplace between civilization and Las Vegas on I-15 there specifically being a place called \u201cThe Middle of Nowhere\u201d.<\/p>\n

Heading out on vacation Sunday night, we didn\u2019t reach \u201cThe Middle of Nowhere\u201d until someplace between Las Vegas and the Utah border.<\/p>\n

Anyone fearful of over population needs to drive through Utah\u2026You will enjoy the sunrise\u2026<\/p>\n

The people in Denver did seem depressed\u2026Dealing a frontline quarterback because of the new HC\u2019s insecurity can do that to you\u2026They still have \u201cTrail Dusters\u201d and 20-ounce sirloins\u2026<\/p>\n

Note (Actual sign on the road) when driving through eastern Colorado: \u201cCorrectional Facility: Do Not Pick up Hitchhikers\u201d\u2026 So I scratched it off the list of things to do\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThe greenest stuff you ever saw,\u201d says Roy Hobbs<\/p>\n

North Platte, Nebraska\u2026neat little town\u2026and the home of Fort Cody, keeper of the Buffalo Bill Cody Museum\u2026Free\u2026<\/p>\n

Nebraska and Iowa (first time in both) were beautiful\u2026Including Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha\u2026 but I need to see a little more before I label them Heaven\u2026<\/p>\n

The Cornhuskers, and even the Hawkeyes, are a religion here\u2026<\/p>\n

You can keep northern Indiana\u2026<\/p>\n

South Bend (sucks) has so many cars I thought I was in Glendale during mid day\u2026I have a new appreciation for my hatred for Notre Dame\u2026<\/p>\n

Cracker Barrel cures all ailments\u2026<\/p>\n

However, toll roads are a threat to the American way of life\u2026If anybody from the east ever says something bad about the west, tell them we don\u2019t have toll roads like I-90 (from Chicago through New York, to New England)\u2026These booths are the equivalent of a daily hold up\u2026(Oh, I\u2019m stressed\u2026)\u2026<\/p>\n

So Prince Fielder had a problem with the Dodgers? Sorry, haven\u2019t been able to keep up\u2026When traveling through tornado country Weather Channel super-cedes all sports info\u2026<\/p>\n

Playing the out of state license plate game worked until we came to a sedan from Minnesota\u2026seeing how Al Franken is now a United States senator from the \u201cLand of a Thousand Lakes\u201d I just didn\u2019t have the energy to score it\u2026<\/p>\n
