I have made quite a few long drives in my life. I thought that probably the
most gruelling dirive I had ever made was back in 1972 when I drove nonstop
from Austin to Chetumal. Yesterday I drove nonstop from Columbus Ohio to La
Junta Colorado.
I was on I70 and crossing the remainder of Ohio, Indiana and Missouri didn't
really seem to take that long..........then I entered Kansas. I never
thought it would end.......almost like there was some sort of time warp
where I'd drive for 100 miles and the next road sign sould say that the next
stop was 200 miles further away than I thought it was.
Unbelieveable!!...........and flat.........I think the definition of flat in
Websters should have a picture of I70 crossing Kansas. I wonder if the early
pioneers who crossed Kansas in their covered wagons though that it was wierd
to see endless miles of prarie occasionally interwspersed with anti-abortion
signs which are strung out on incremental billboards along the highway sort
of like old Burma shave ads, then absolutely nothing for the next 50 miles,
then suddenly an adult sex toy/video superstore popping up out of the void,
only to be followed 50 miles later by more burma shave-like anti abortion
ads...........and I wonder if they got sick of hearing 70's music on every
radio station. By the time I got out of Kansas about 9:00 last night, I felt
like I had driven 20 years backward in time.

Absolutely surreal, twilight zone kinda' day.
