The great American road trip begins

After 38 angst-ridden starts of school with Roseville Area Schools, Jan is (and by extension, I am) setting out on a grand and never-before possible September adventure. We will be on the road for 4 weeks; an unbelievable luxury. Although I will have to work some while on the trip, 28 days is long enough to just be. Just observe the world. Just feel free.

We just passed an old beat up truck with a hound dog in the bed and a bumper sticker that said, "I brake for tailgaters." Now that's America. Soon after that we saw another pickup with a bumper sticker that said, "If you're not a hemorrhoid, get off my ass." I don't quite understand the point of that one -- unless they like hemorrhoids. Which most people don't.

We also saw the birthplace of America. Which is pretty American, if also controversial.

Note, the Fuller Lake rest area has great sinks and hand dryers.

Today's leg: I94 from the Twin Cities to Fargo/Moorhead to see Jill, Mike and the grandkids. Any rumors to the effect that we lost at cribbage to the Molldrems are entirely false.
