Probably not too many people care but I made it back home safely from LA -- 3 days of steady driving... Damn gas is cheap now... in some states gas was $.97 for the cheap stuff -- I averaged about $14/tank of premium -- took me about 7 tanks from Pasadena, CA to Gainesville, FL...
Why are gas prices so low after 9-11? Hmmm...
Not much else to report... My little GTI has made this trip x-country from Florida to LA, 6 times now with zero problems... I was suprised to see large patches of snow on the ground all through western Texas... My favorite place to eat and take a shit along I-10 is this little restuarant next to the Texaco in Crockett, Texas (basically it's out in the middle of fucking nowhere) Texas is not friendly to travelers -- instead of "rest stops" you get "picnic areas" -- cheap asses can't even afford bathroom doors for the toilets. I'm pretty sure Texas must be 1000 miles long -- it's a long bitch of a drive. If you want to shit in Texas on I10, stop at this little restuarant -- they've got huge delicious hamburgers -- this time I had the "farm-fresh catfish" -- yummy!
Anyway I have lots of bills to pay now -- the Dept. of Education is after my ass...
Good times.
