> 4:30 pm - The cheese incident. Ugh. I got a BK fish sandwich and didn't open it until I was on the road, because... well, I'm dumb. I had cruise control on, was steering with my left knee and holding the sandwich in my left hand. With my right hand I unwrapped it and discovered that they put cheese on the sandwhich. Eww. So, I had to drive like that for a while peeling the cheese off the sandwich. After I got as much as possible off of it, I threw the wrapper away. Then as I was eating, a piece of cheese fell on the floor!! I spent the next 5 minutes trying to get it, but I couldn't reach. So I unfolded my sunglasses and stabbed the cheese with the earpiece. I got it! Whew.

An interesting travelog. You must have taken lots of notes about times and things. I think I know why you got so many tickets. You were talking on the phone while driving. (TWD) You were eating while driving. (EWD) And cleaning up the floor of the car while driving. (CUTFOTCWD)All of these are ticket offenses or should be.

I don't know where you threw the sandwich wrapper, but I hope it wasn't out the window, because that is littering while driving (LWD) and could have easily earned you another of those tickets. I also wonder if you are guilty of drinking Mt. Dew while driving (DMDWD), or yelling while driving (YWD), or reading a roadmap while driving (RRMWD).

Had you been driving in Tennessee you would have noticed some differences. The roads all have lines, and there are no toll roads in the whole state. Also, around here, the cops stop you and write you a ticket so you don't have to stop at a booth to get one. That's what we call good service.

I ate at the Burger King and got gas, too.

Do we get an account of the return trip?
