04-14 observations.

Observations......The trip here yesterday.....

* There are bats under all the bridges on the west side of San Antonio going towards California.  I saw them when going out that way, and while coming back last night.  Tons of the little guys.

* When you go to a road side rest stop...after dark.....and no one else is anywhere around.....your mind can have fun with odd sounds you hear.  I was pretty sure there weren't any zombies.....but I heard noises that could have been from some of the scary movies I have seen.  bwahahaha  I didn't look down any of the drains....nor did I go to inspect to see what the sounds might be.....you n-e-v-e-r know.

* You can make a trip on Vienna sausage and potato sticks.   Especially if you want to get home bad enough to not think it is worth pulling off the road to do drive thru.

* Audio books are the best-est thing in the world for traveling without a co-driver.  I listened to three books.  Amazing how many miles you will cover between the need to change disks.   I wonder if it would be a good way to learn a second language.  :)

* I never realized how many little crosses and such are set up on the side of the roads.

* There are miles of mountains they blasted to make way for the highway....many many years ago.  Wonder what they did with all the dirt and rock they took out?  Yes, the mind will think of weird things like this while it drives along.

* Why is it, right after you break down and get a fill up.....the next city over will have gas at 5 to 10 cents cheaper?  <snicker>

* Why do the truck stops sell really fancy purses....for $49.99?  How many women are driving along and all of a sudden have this thought:  "well darn....sure wish there was a new purse I could buy for absolutely no reason"

* They post signs that you cannot sleep on the roadside tables.  Ummmmmm after seeing that....I had this overwhelming desire to see if I could sleep on one......without falling off.  hahahahaha

* Apparently, it is standard conversation at each and every truck or gas stop....to state where you are coming from and where you are going to end up at.  I listened to people doing it at all of them.  :)

* Do you ever do a long drive....and notice certain cars/trucks....that you notice over and over after you make a stop for something?  Cause you pass them more than one time?  I was wondering if they ever say...."hey!  there is that yellow PT cruiser again.  wonder where she is going?  maybe she will tell us at the next gas stop".   <snicker>

* The nicest thing in the world....coming down the block and seeing that the daughter turned on the porch light.  :)
