When you are driving across the country - an atlas is your friend - try to have one before you get lost the first and second times.
When in doubt, spend the 20 bucks on 4 maps instead of the one for the next state you will enter after you get unlost.
No - you should not re-enter Illinios 4 hours after you left it the first time.
When you ask directions at a gas station - try one that isn't run down and in the middle of B. F. Egypt. Also, heading towards Memphis is a mistake, esp. if you want to head east instead of west.
When you plan on passing a truck and your mind says "no, wait a minute" and 2 seconds later you see a deer litterally flying across the road into the lane you would have been in had you started to pass the truck - you cannot deny a greater being looking out for you.
Highway 64 has an insane amount of dead deer in the lanes of traffic.
A 3 year old can and will stay awake until 2am on a car trip if he thinks he is going to get to watch another movie on the screen attatched to a seat in front of him "in a little while", so don't even try that lie to get him to be quiet.
It seems that the state of Alabama does not believe in things called "road signs" (Sorry if you)live there, but they were not to be found when needed. Also, even if you are 5 miles from the state border, it will take you an hour to find it.
Do not place bets on how many times ya'll can get lost - seriously lost. You will all be wrong, you will get lost at least twice as much as the highest number.
A soldier will want and ask many times about 3 things before leaving base: his ipod, his new laptop, and where is the nearest gas station to buy a Monster Energy Drink.

My family always teased me about my sense of direction and said that I always arrived at my destination by going in ever decreasing circles.
I'm the map reader in the family which makes it difficult if I'm the one driving. My husband wants one of those navigation systems but how the heck do you watch those and the road at the same time?
And if it talks to me I'm apt to talk back in language that might corrupt it.
I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid that yarn still hasn't got to me. I haven't given up entirely, because I recently got a parcel that had been posted in Oregon on 31 August, but I thought I should let you know. Another parcel was sent back saying I don't live here, but I do!
Fingers still crossed.
