Words I never thought I’d say. But it’s nice here. Lots of flies and wasps though.
KM’s driven:1096.9
Road kill seen: 3 deer, 10+ porcupines, 2 skunks, 1 racoon
Things I hit with the van: a small bird (this always seems to happen at the start of road trips),
a porcupine (but it was already dead)
a tin can which I assume had creamed corn or similar in it. Didn’t see that one in time but it sure sounded cool when I hit it!
– I don’t know why so many porcupines though. I suspect there is some kind of religion in Southern AB and Montana where you get “holy points” for every one killed. Some kind of water bed based faith I suspect.
Trip was pretty good. 100+ degrees for most of the afternoon. It didn’t feel like it though.
HUGE recomendation: listen to the audio commentary by Larry the Cucumber and Mr Lunt on the Veggie Tales Jonah movie. SUPER funny. I will never hear the word “hushpuppies” without laughing now.
I have some pictures. One in particular I found funny at the time. A car with the license plate “DANIML1” which I read as Dan-imal. But they were doing 60mph on a 70mph road. And then they got passed by a mini-van loaded with enough stuff to outfit a small army. I’m sorry Dan, you’ve lost your cool nickname privilages.
I also thought of a cool movie plot consisting of Andy Richter and Andy Dyck. Well, I just found it funny that both guys are really just pieces of satire placed in movies so we can laugh at them. So a movie revolving around them should be good, right? And Andy Rooney could do a guest cameo.
