Ugh. I had planned to go to this "Celebration for Nebraska Authors" tomorrow in Lincoln. But then I read the description of the program . . . and it hardly seems worth the 5 hours I would have to spend in the car (round trip), and looks incredibly boring. People I've never heard of, being given awards I've never heard of, by people I've never met, in a place I've never been.

I'm still keen to go, just to get out of town. But I don't quite trust my car right now.

Not sure what to think at the moment. Blah frown

Road trips can be lots of fun, but yeah, I wouldn't blame you for missing out on that one.

I am perpetually astonished by the journeys Americans take, almost without noticing. I can't believe that will continue, given that Peak Oil is upcoming (or maybe happened already, which is my thought). In the last year, I'v driven 2.5 (or more) hours to a single destination a total of six times. Of which, two were to do with my dfad dying, and four were to do with my son's hope of going to university.

I didn't take a single 2.5-hour journey in the year before that. Not one.
