The drive there was fine. Like 80MPH the entire way, and lots of smokies, but none of them got their grimy paws on the DANMAN!Some really nice spots in upstate ny. Some cool old bridges.
On the fricken way back, however, not exactly the same story. I was reading the doom-and-gloom reports from the weather KNOBS on CNN and heard about a little storm comming in. Well it seems that the USA was taking a break from bombing someone, and no one had chosen that particular day to avenge the attacks the USA perpetrates against other soverign nations. So the big "news" was this BLANKET OF DEATH approaching the eastern seaboard! Really talking it up and sure it would hit on friday afternoon. 2ish.
So i book early, shortening an already too short trip to see my friend, with the intent of MISSING the sorm in question. Ahhhhno. Turns out that the storm is showing up to the prom early, and hit like a madman at about Syracuse. At first i thought "ahh so. it come early..." but was not shitting myself. Was still light outside, so i was coo... 9 minutes later the sun went down..and IT began.
I could go into tonnes of detail, but when i saw the garbage truck, on it's side, in the ditch, facing the wrong way, i turned off The Smiths, and got a coffee. PRONTO. Were it not for snow tires, and ADVANCED DRIVING skills, i'd still be at some Microlodge in Schnecectady. Asshole of the upper USA that it is.
Thought of SJ as i drove past the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield.
So made the 8 hour trip in 10 hours. NICE! I hate the USA.
