oh yeah... Oh, and... another car trouble thing from yesterday... I... accidentally didn't close something right... and now the power cord for the electricity basically got destroyed because it was dragging on the road. I felt pretty bad, but my dad told me he almost did it too. Day 5: Faces and Badlands Well we woke up this morning, at around 5 AM, mostly because of this interesting storm. Unfortunately because we were in the pop up trailer we probably didn't have the best protection we could have had for a storm of such magnitude.

Which I found kind of funny, then also the fact that a whole bunch of firework store advertisements popped up on the border of Pennsylvania was fairly entertaining. I will have pictures, but I don't have the time or resources to do that now. We are currently staying with friends of my parents when my dad used to teach at Oberlin College. Country Accent So far nothing striking, but I have noticed a couple more people with a country accent, but not too many. At a rest stop I realized that there is a slight resemblance ... read more
