Leave it beaver

Sometimes I'm amazed by just how little control I have over travel circumstances.

Like a good, traveled road tripper, before embarking on my 3 week cross-country roadtrip, I got the car checked out- making sure it was prepared for the journey.

But alas on the first day, almost out of PA, I heard a thud and immediately lost my power steering and brakes. There goes the belt.

So a majority of my day was spent people watching truckers... And trucks. And trucks on trucks- like a truck dance party.


But an awesome thing: I got to drive through Scranton, PA- home of The Office.


Even better, the car shop had it fixed the next day, in time to make it to Chicago for a good old deep dish pizza pie. Delish.
