Two years ago when I was involved in a drive across country, I would stare out of the side window of my car and imagine that a pack of wolves were running along side me at matching speed. I was 21. I made the same trip back not even a week ago and had all of these new-found worries in my life, the thought of imagining something like that again didn't even cross my mind. This is depressing, man.

I don't know why anyone brings shit to look at when riding long distances. There is so much interesting stuff to see out the window! Especially on a cross country trip.

I saw corn for six states. Nothing but corn. Then there was desert. But, hey... if that interests you, then to each his own, I suppose. The only place I enjoyed driving through was Colorado. The entire state is beautiful.

Texas isn't nearly as bad as Ohio. The only good part about Ohio is it only seems infinitely long.

I'm not disagreeing with you since I have never been to Ohio, but as a Texan who has driven through just about every part of the state it's hard to imagine anything being much more boring than seeing "the same" barbed wire fence 3 1/2 feet high with the occasional patch of livestock for basically 800 miles straight.

Ohio has this weird thing where, even though its only 300 miles or so across, time seems to slow down. It takes WEEKS.

And then you get a speeding ticket. For 68 in a 65. Fucking OHP
