Driving to Chicago
I never look forward to the drive. It's thoroughly boring, with your usual generic midwest scenery (barn-field-overpass-field-repeat). 5 hours of feeling your brain turn to mush from nothing to do but keep the hood aimed between the trees. It's such a relief to reach Chicago and get out of the Indiana doldrums. But Chicago is where they invented the phrase 'urban sprawl' - so even after passing all the welcome signs, you're probably still an hour out. Very misleading to your mushy head. At least the drive home seems to pass by far more quickly.

Well that's just because you are coming east and are going with the jetstream and not against it.
Yup.
Have a good trip.
Beware of Jesus.
wait, what trees? you pass through trees on your way through indiana? i think you're taking the longer route...
They have trees in Indiana?
When I said 'trees', I meant all types of wood items - billboards, old station wagons, um, George Washington's teeth (I was getting tired by that point).
