Lafayette Louisiana: In the heart of Cajun Country.
The driving weather was beautiful, at least until I got to Louisiana. And there is an upside to high gas prices. There weren't as many idiots on the road as usual. Maybe this $4 a gallon gas is not so bad after all. I did have the same guy in a Porsche Carrera with the top down pass me three times. Did I mention that I can go over 400 miles on a tank of gas in my 325? He prolly had to keep stopping for gas. I made two stops. One at the MacDonald's drive thru for coffee and the second time for gas.
I've slowed down. Time was, I would have gotten right behind this guy and let him birddog for me. Nope. I just set the cruise control on 75. I still drive fast, but I'm not as aggressive as I used to be.
About the time I hit Louisiana it started raining. Damn Cajuns! Twice it came down so hard that traffic slowed to 20 mph. Naturally it was raining when I stopped for the night. Got drenched unloading and putting together my wheelchair and getting my stuff inside. Of course, after I finished, it quit raining.
Dog snot!

Posted by: patrick on June 25, 2008 11:23 PMC'mon Erica, this sorry ass already knows not to lay a finger on Denny's beer. Hell, he already called me a pussy cause I even hinted on drinking something else besides the Official Beer of Blown-Eyed Blodgers.
