Notes From The Road: Almost Home!

2:10AM It’s snowing in Ohio. I drove like a vampire bat out of hell from Colombus to Cleveland. But now it’s snowing and there are no plows out, which means I can only go 50 mph instead of 80. I certainly feel and probably look like a real vampire. I’ve been dipped in the Wendy’s late night fryer: I’m burned out, dirty, and full of disgusting fast junk food. I’ll just stop for the night and recoup.

9:45AM (Ohio Time) FREE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST Whooohooo!!! Eggs and bagels and sausage and JUICE!! Plus I get a free newspaper!!! I love the Hampton Inn. Having no idea where I put my snow brush, I decide to “borrow” one of the 2000 towels from my bathroom to clean the snow off my car.

Apparently the windshield wiper fluid in Nevada does not contain anti-freeze, because my entire container (under the hood) is frozen solid. I’m forced to fill a sport cap water bottle with wiper fluid and squirt it at the windshield when it’s too dirty to see out of anymore. The towel I stole earlier is coming in handy now, because the wind blows most of the wiper fluid back into my face. It’s really a nice system. hahaha! This is so ridiculous! At least I’m providing some entertainment for the other drivers. So not safe though. Oh well, only three more hours and I’m home!!
