Cruising the straightaway

We are just driving in a very straight line right now.

Triple trucks going our way, lots of traffic going the other way.

Thousands of contruction barrels on both directions.

Lorraine is our GPS navigation system. We named her in Chicago after a VERY helpful person that drove the shuttle van for the Hyatt at McCormick. She helped guide us to where we wanted to go even when we had no clue where we did want to go. She liked her job, she liked the idea of The Adventure(TM) , and she could find a way through some of the nastiest traffic situations. Lorraine (the GPS) has been very helpful to us throughout this trip. She even found the Shroeder's compound that is hidden in the middle of gigantic corn fields.

Today is Lorraine's day off. The nine-inch display just shows a straight line. Nothing, no turns, the state border is 97 miles away and then there is a straight followed imediately by a straight.

182 miles before the next curve.

By the way, after this post I will switch my postings to the current time zone. It is 11:50 here.

I don't want Dad to think that we are staying up until 1am just to enter stuff in the blog.
