It was cold last night in the greater Laramie, Wyoming metropolitan area. Had to scrape the car. I hope the 2 cases of wine in the trunk didn't freeze. It is now apparent that the "dig the cat out from under the bed ritual" is going to be how it is.
We drove all the way across Nebraska (450+ miles). Except for the obvious "red state" issue, it wasn't as bad as we expected. Nebraska is actually kind of pretty in that "Little House on the Prairie" kind of way. In fact, it wasn't as boring as Wyoming. And, the speed limit posted in the west is 75, but in practice, the only limit is in your foot. The zen of 100 mph is the Nebraska state of mind.
Today, we didn't feel sorry for ourselves and the future of the earth. Instead, we studied Canadian geography. Did you know that the capital of Yukon is Whitehorse?
This evening, I learned another important fact. Holiday Inn also allows pets. So, tomorrow night, no more Motel 6 for this furry family. We are staying in the Oak Lawn Southwest Holiday Inn in Chicago. The luxury room with the king size bed was very tempting, but in the end, we opted for the room with two standard size beds. I am not sure I can lift a king size bed. You think I'm making this up.... Also, we had burritos for dinner.
