what's up pussycat

marley lives in denver now! she's very happy to be here- walking around chirping and rubbing against everything. meow meow meow. she seems especially pleased with the carpeted floor and is walking around with her paws spread out and spontenously flopping on the floor to have a roll.

best part of drive: marley not meowing the whole way. and making it back to denver yaaaay. oh, and listening to disc two of 'the wall'- when was the last time YOU rocked out to pink floyd? not since high school? exactly.

worst: precious little election coverage on xm radio- we had to resort to fox news for information, and that was sickening. i revolted by turning on the 80's channel.

comment of the day: "wake me up when we get to the milkshakes" (or insert favorite excuse to stop on the highway- gas, colorado state line, world's largest gopher. well, we didn't stop, but ed's been there and he's here to report that it's a concrete gopher. or groundhog. whatever. prairie dog?)

scenery: kansas. despite popular bitching about this state, it's actually very pretty in it's own prairie sort of way.

weather: just gorgeous, mum. 70 degrees and sunny. pretty sunset.

smell: more manure. CAFOs. dis-gusting.

which didn't stop me from breaking down and eating a cheeseburger en route. dee-licious.
fast food establishments visited: 1
fast food eaten: oh man it was a good cheeseburger. i wonder if it came from one of the cows nearby. probably not.
real food eaten: nussing. forgot real food! yummy italian meats abadoned in springfield! boo. apples, too.

miles driven: a few. around 800. we estimate that we've spent 40 hours in the car in the past five days. that's a full time job.

roads: fine
