This? Is Entertaining?

Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

Today the wife and I drove over 900 miles from Kokomo, IN to Addison, TX.  We left at about 5 AM and arrived 14 hours later.  All in all it was a great trip.  There was no road construction to speak of and traffic was really great.  There was a serious accident along the way on the other side of the highway.  We must have just missed it by a few minutes based on the amount of time between where we passed the accident spot and where we saw the ambulance.  The car had flipped and it looked like someone had used a fire extinguisher on it as well.

While 900 miles is nothing to sneeze at, I did drive about 1100 miles in one stretch coming home from Beaumont, TX back in the early 90's.  Not only was that trip harder because of the extra miles, I pulled it off in a Geo Metro.  This time I was in a Buick.

The wife (to put it mildly) does not do well on little sleep.  Her lips and her brain had difficulty connecting a few times.  The ears and brain we shorted out a little as well.  Of course it is reasonable to believe it was my lips and ears that were at fault.  It is funny how the body works when deprived of sleep.  For instance, I find this blog entry very entertaining.  For those of you who are reading this and thinking that this is boring, may I suggest you get up at 4 AM and read it again.  I can almost guarantee that you will find it interesting then.

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
