this is taking WAY to F*$&^# long!

hola.. I'm in desmoines iowa and it's getting cooler as I go east however the gas prices are not! but I'm averaging 35 miles to the gal. so I'm doing pretty good. my post this morning was short so I thought I would let you know what I did yesterday.. I stopped at the little big horn battlefield that was pretty amazing.. it was hard to imagine the horses and indians and calvery men running across I90 at each other but thats what they did.. and in proper US military fashion they sent custer to fight it the battle.. ( he graduated last from west point.) reminds me of pres. bush .. but hey those who lead have followers right? anyway I'm not making much sence I know and also have lost all abilty to spell. it's been a long day 700 miles about and I'm not longer on i90 I'm on i80.. I'm 6 hours from chicago and since I'll be hitting it on a sunday I hope that it won't be to bad.. but who knows tommorow I'm of to detroit mi to visit some family and than I'm in harrisburg on monday night. I missed the badlands exit so I didn't get to go there was kind of a bumer but owell.. I needed to make time anyway.. my average speed is 78 and I've traveled over 1800 miles.. I stopped at a rest stop in south dakota and learned that I was following the somewhat path of lewis and clark. that was nifty.. I didn't realize that it was a military expedition.. but I guess they didn't have the NIH back then eh? anyway frank is doing well he hates road trips... but he think he's adjusted well.. I took him for a "walk" today that was funny he didn't really walk so much as run for shade.. it was about 101 when we had that little adventure needless to say he was hot so I put him back in the car with the airconditiong full blast... the best rest stops are iowa they have wireless internett not that I can get it to work with my mac.. but it's progress non the less. so iowa home of the dem. pres. primarys.. I wonder why they have them in iowa.. it's such a weird state.. not weird so much as well rebublican.. and well I won't go there.. but I saw a crop duster today a really old one it was yellow with double decker wings I also saw over 300 veh. in a military convoy from fort dodge.. they were going west so this thing with iran and hesbolah must not be that bad... haha.. so I'm out of sorts with out NPR I had it in southdakota for while but lost it when I got to minisota.. all I know is what cnn tells me which is that it's an upand coming world war.. with vladmir puttin saying that isrial should be nicer to the terrorists "or scale back their defence" I think is how he put it.. dear god.. so much for the G8... lol anyway so the worlds going to shit and I'm in iowa.. that just dandy.. should just head to canada now.. and avoid the draft.. sorry mom.. gas isn't getting any cheaper the average price I've paid is 2.99 and I haven't seen an espresso place for ever!! I'm being forced to consume drip coffee from convenience stores!!! which I quickly add milk and ice to.. i've come to snak on snow peas they are very good I also started a game.. lol you know those bags of trail mix with the really stale raisons and the bad m&m look alikes.. so I've set up a basket on the passanger seat and with my window open I toss the raisons out and the m&ms into the basket.. that kept me occupied for a little while.. lol it was quite entertaining.. frank is no longer laying in his litter box but more so in his crate.. or under my feet. at the moment he's sleeping on the bed. my back is killing me from my seat but owell.. the harder than shit hotel beds aren't helping either.. the one I stayed in last night was GREAT! the pool was nice and I got a free beer stout of course... but in my stupid tiredness I order not beef.. becasue I'm Not IN the greatest Beef capital of the world south dakota ( hint I was in south dakota) I order what I order fish.. waley to be exact.. I thought it was a way they cooked the beef but no.. the 12 oz ribeye was the same freaking price and I order fish.. OMG! it was funny my reaction when she brought it out.. beef isn't white for those wondering at home it also isn't served with lemon.. well not usually anyway.. but I ate it.. and it was good. weather for tommorow looks good.. I'm almost there.
ciao
