AN INDISPUTABLE TRUTH

There is nothing quite like having a thousand-mile weekend, unless it’s having two of them, in a row, in the Midwest, in December.

Ever known somebody who’s gone through two gallons of windshield-washer fluid in seven days? You do now. And I have a feeling I’ll be seeing dashed white lines in my dreams for a few days.

Plus I never want to see a Burger King again.

  2. Wrong part of the Midwest. I know of one Steak & Shake anywhere close to my route.

    There is a Sonic in Fort Dodge, though.

  3. Well, it’s a good opportunity to listen to the audio cassettes of LOTR. Or “All Creatures Great And Small”

  4. Ain’t that the truth. When I went up to Evansville & Cincinnati this summer, I listened to the LOTR as broadcast on NPR (9 CDs, I think), Crichton’s “13th Warrior,” King’s “From a Buick Eight” (both unabridged), and Seamus Heaney’s “Beowulf” translation.

  5. I detest abridged versions. Approved, unapproved, they’re still abominations.

  6. LOTR wasn’t an abridgement. It was an adaptation with actors voicing different characters. “Beowulf” was two CDs and was described as “unabridged selections.”

  7. I know, I was just making a generic comment.
