I took a different quiz, titled "If you could drive anywhere and back in five days where would you go?" Turns out I would go to Gettysburg, Niagara Falls, drive through Canadia, hang out around the University of Michigan, and maim golfers outside of Columbus, before returning home through the mountains of Cantuckee and Wes' Virginny. Alright I didn't really take a quiz, but my dad and I did go on a little drive these past few days.
Now here are a few of the valuable lessons I learned this weekend:
-If you are in Pennsylvania, expect Pennsylvanians to drive erratically. If you are in New York, expect New Yorkers to drive nonsensibly. If you are anywhere, expect Washington DC'ers to drive incomprehensibly.
-Every roadside restaurant has a different "secret recipe" for coleslaw.
-New York Interstates have exits that completely do not correspond with the mile markers.
-There are more Asians in Niagara Falls than in Asia.
-Don't try to give the 'wassup nod' to a Mennonite youth. He'll stare you down with angst.
-Thrice is the perfect music for driving northern Pennsylvania.
-Ontario Police cars are marked "O.P.P."
-When your car CD player decides to stop working in the middle of Ontario, you can always listen to the french jazz radio station.
-When your car CD player still isn't working during your drive through Ohio, you can gain a new appreciation for contemporary christian radio.
-If you have any questions about the Army, ask a retired Brigadier General.
-The University of Michigan's excessive liberalism makes UNCG look like a bible college.
That's all for my lessons. Here's a quick breakdown of our stops.
Greensboro NC, Buchanan VA, Natural Bridge VA, Gettysburg PA (First time there), Trout Run PA, Albion NY, Shadigee NY (My first view of Lake Ontario...my first view of any of the Great Lakes), Model City NY (My first step on an "Indian Reservation"), Niagara Falls NY, Niagara Falls OT, "service stop" OT (And the nullifying similarity of Canada and America hit home), Ann Arbor MI (home of my great aunt Rosalie, her dog Orion, and the hippest college town of the midwest), Columbus OH, Huntington WV, King NC (We got gas here, we didn't stop-trailer capital of NC).
Expect pictures soon. I got some phat panorama shots of the falls.
Peace
