Wacky Wednesday

I don't know how they got this picture of the hh's ear.

It's Coming, Young Jedis

Yay! In December, we're finally going to see a Star Wars with the original cast. Sounds like a pretty good Christmas gift to me.

Polka Dots on the Highway

If you have driven between Rockford and Buffalo you are no doubt familiar with the dots on the highway. We saw them for the first time when we visited in MN the end of June and it was, 'What the --." 
And if they were going to put polka dots on the highway why not make them pink?
Actually, they do serve more of a purpose than a conversation starter.
This area has had a lot of crashes due to tailgating.
As you can see by the sign drivers are to keep two dots between them and the car in front. At fifty-five mph this adheres to the three second following distance rule. 
It might work in MN, but I'm afraid it would add to the fatalities in NC. I'm very much afraid that driving fifty-five and leaving that much space between cars would send our drivers into cardiac arrest.

It's The Weekend And Thunderclap

No Vacancy

Whew! We are home! We went to a reception in MN for the kids. Two nights getting there. Two nights there. Two nights back. On the way up we spent the night with my aunt and uncle in southern Illinois then had lunch with the sibs in central Illinois then back on the road. Our goal was to stop about midway through WI for the night. On the other side of the Dells about 8:30 p.m. we decided to call it a night. Unfortunately we didn't take into account the Tractor Pull. Every hotel in town was booked. So we drove to the next town, and the next and the next. Same thing. We went through five towns with every hotel booked for the tractor pull. The next town it was a wedding and a baseball game. The town after that it was an aerial show. Finally, at two in the morning, we found a Motel 8 on the other side of Minneapolis  that had one cancellation. We took it!
