Marissa, Minitruck II (the truck), Minitruck III (the cat) and I made it home in three days. 2900 miles in 3 days is a lot of driving. We got pulled over for speeding every day of our trip. The weather was perfect, traffic was light, the truck ran great. It went incredibly smoothly. I wouldn't want to do it again. I didn't write any profiles on interesting people we encountered on our drive home, because it turns out that there are no interesting people in middle-America. Nope. Just a bunch of bland cookie cutter picket fence white bread dick and janes. It is good to be back in a state where the people are weird. Coastal states have all the characters. It was another culture shock coming back though. We went out in New Haven, and all the people there looked like they belonged on the MTV show Jersey Shore to me. I've got to admit, I almost miss the ski bums, at least they dress with some color.
Marissa and I are all settled in to Brohouse East in Middletown, and we've once again begun the frustrating job search process. It's going...well? I'm going to cheat a little today, and spend the day watching Wildboyz and finishing up nerd novel.
It is nice to have cable TV again.
