Road Trip

Yesterday, I arrived home from a weekend trip to Ashland, Oregon. Here’s a list of 10 Things I experienced/learned on my 5 hour drive back to Portland:

1. Four different black jeeps felt the desire to ride my ass on I-5.
2. My co-pilot sang me a few Flight of The Conchords songs.
3. Mirah’s album, Joyride: Remixes, made me sleepy while driving.
4. The burger, fries, and coke that I consumed from the Burger King, in Cottage Grove, reminded me of why I stopped eating fast food, and drinking soda, a long time ago: it leaves an unsettling feeling within.
5. Analyzing my extensive contemplation of the people I saw, and the things I did this past weekend, made the time go by faster.
6. Middle-aged women who drive big trucks also enjoy tailgating.
7. My debit card worked at a gas station (when I got a new card, many months ago, gas stations never accepted it).
8. Accidentally, touching my passenger’s knee, while shifting from park to drive, was an open invitation for him to, intentionally, do the same back to me.
9. Something inside or outside of my car smelt like burritos
10. I was educated on all the controversies of the Oregon Lottery.
