Bonjour!
Jess and Elena have been in the car for too long today (many an existential crisis or two…)
But anyways,
Many a fair regard and blessed greeting to thee
Shall we maintain our streak of being on time today?
Or will it come crashing to an end after only 24 hours?
Find out tonight (or tomorrow morning if we’re late :))
Today’s song of the day is “the superior cover version” of Africa by Weezer
AN ANNOUNCEMENT: I have committed a sin
I lied to y’all last night (but have absolutely no regrets about that whatsoever)
- Really super cool Ciandra did not feed us through the danishes that she bought for us to eat
- Super sweet Kaite and family fed us waffles this morning and they were divine - their amazing daughter also made us these cute origami dogs that now live with our octopus on the dash :)
So really, today wasn’t THAT exciting, but I’ll do my best to make the read interesting (but I make absolutely no promises babes)
- We spent a lot of time making fun of the road signs that are just, they’re just so unnecessarily aggressive that it’s funny (they’re also just in FULL CAPS)
- The list as it stands right now is:
“Changing lanes? Show me your blinker” *but in full caps*
“Don’t lose control. Be in Control. EYES ON THE ROAD” *also in full caps*
- We started to keep track of the cheapest gas prices - today’s low is $4.32 a gallon (Remember when we used to think that anything over like $3 was too expensive???? *sigh* the good old days man)
Discoveries of the day
THERE IS ONLY CORN
There is only Iowa, nothing is inside of it (it’s all IOWA)
The west lacks signs welcoming people to their states (but apparently not?)
Clouds are photoshopped into the sky (you cannot convince me otherwise)
Jess and Elena may actually be be sea rats, but we’re not sure
We were bored, so we did some research and went on a few ted talk rants
-MIDDLE CHILD SYNDROME (a.k.a. Jess and Elena are both middle children, and it really shows)
-Charles Darwin was a middle child
-“My parents don’t love me so I’m going to play with turtles and birds instead” - Darwin
Question for the crowds:
What is the difference between a normal rest area and a “MODERN rest area” ? - Seriously, what’s the difference, I need to know
In Lincoln:
- We parked nearby Nebraska University - Lincoln - and we payed 25 cents for parking today (So sweet, this I know)
- We decided that we didn't want to stay super duper long, so we simply walked around the block (wowowowow so much exercise)
- WE WENT TO WALMART (we adulted today, but really we bought soup and some bread, so not really)
- BUT - we also went to Sam's club specifically to buy juice (gotta keep Michael's cursed lamp juju away from our car)
We got to the hotel early and hope to be asleep soon
Happiness is buying applesauce at Sam's club, Ben and Jerry's ice cream,
and learning that Charles Darwin was a middle child
Our thoughts and prayers to all the middle children out there,
