Still truckin'

Nicole and I are now in Chicago - and I'm typing this from the North Michigan Apple Store in downtown Chicago. What a gorgeous store... really, really gorgeous. And, they have a free Internet cafe. I wish I could tell the woman across the table from me that her music stinks and that she should USE HEADPHONES, but oh well.

So anyway, the drive so far has been pretty good, but traffic in Chicago sucks to holy high hell. As soon as we're done here, we're going to head off to the Sears Tower (sorry, I just have to go to the tallest building here!) for some sightseeing. And then, I think we're going to drive the rest of the way to Connecticut.

Traffic oasises (or is it oases?) in Illinois are pretty dang interesting, although it seems like either the gas station or the restaurant is always being upgraded/replaced. One had a working gas station, but no working restaurant, and vice versa. Interesting.

Drivers in Chicago are nucking futs. So far, we've seen three cars passing us on the shoulder. This is unheard of in Seattle. Drivers in Wisconsin weren't much better, although they didn't pass in the shoulder. Instead, they just tailgated. Hey buddy, I'm doing 90 in a 65 and you're still tailgating me?! Sheesh!

Alright, I think it's time to go now. Next update might be from Connecticut. We'll see.
