We’re heading up to North Dakota today to visit some family over Christmas. It’s pretty long drive, but it’s always nice to see everybody, so it’s really no big deal. The major downside to is pretty much the difference in weather between here and there. Sure it’s cold here, but it’s a hell of a lot colder up in North Dakota.
When I think about it, it’s really amazing what technology has done for us. Seriously, before everybody had cars, I really doubt anybody would have been planning week-long trips to somewhere that’s like 1000 miles away, especially in the middle of winter. For the most part, too, you don’t even have to worry about the cold when you’re in the car, because you should have working heat. It’s great.

You definitely don’t have to worry about heat when your car decides it wants to overheat. In 30 degree weather of the parking lot that was the Eisenhower last Tuesday.

Hey, Al. Remember that one time when we had to ride back from Alabama in the summertime… with the heat on?
