Just driving... It's a gray and dismal day but sunny inside

the reality is that driving with 4 guys means that i am out whiffed by everyone - we could power our vehicle on the natural gas readily available... sigh. duane has decided that listening to country music is a good idea and i am dying a slow death. we alternate between sleep and loudness and not much in between. the oohing and ahhing that happens is more about tractors and barns than about the countryside we are seeing. paul wants a milkshake and its 10:29 in the morning - i could agree to that... making our way and nearing Minnesota (great... more natural gas.... can we open the windows please?)
