Last Saturday Narf, Jon, and I drove to Chicago to get some of Leanne's stuff out of storage and bring it to Wisconsin, where it will now be stored in my basement. During this time, Leanne herself was in Ohio, but soon to be in Wyoming.
It was an interesting trip, but in a way fun. It had a "three guys on a road trip without the wives" vibe. Narf was an excellent navigator, and we were able to find our destination rather easily. The toll situation is an awful mess right now, so not only did we have the simple annoyance of having to pay tolls, but the added stress of congestion due to construction at nearly every toll plaza we went through. Have I mentioned my feelings on driving through Illinois?
In a way, it's comforting to know that not only do Chicagoland drivers drive like assholes in Wisconsin, but they drive that way at home, too. This could be caused by anger because gas there is so expensive. We should have gassed up before crossing the border, as I paid $3.18 a gallon when we stopped in Illinois. The fill-up cost almost $75. No wonder my great-uncle Fred is willing to drive to Indiana for gas.
