A whole family, in a white chevy, smiling and waving at Charles. Father beaming and excited — more so than his ten year old son. Couldn’t get their picture fast enough.

Christmas eve!
I’m not going to arrive until midnight. That means I have to hit a grocery store :
Walnuts
Cinnamon
Brown sugar
Sour cream
Vanilla
Flour
Eggs
Christmas coffee cake!!!!
(sharing is overrated). 🙂

45 miles to plymouth Michigan.
Is gasoline mire efficient at lower altitudes? I wouldn’t think it’d be perceptible.
The guy next to me almost drove off the road when he saw Charles.
Around Detroit you can feel
IQs dropping like barometric pressure. Or maybe it’s just the way people are driving? 😉
Snarky. I know. It happens.

I just drive through the entire states of Minnesota and Wisconsin and I didn’t buy a Yule log!
At least I found some baked goods. ;).

Coming up on Kalamazoo Michigan.
First large roadkill of the trip. Deer. The concrete highway is vibrating the car fast and hard. Charles looks like he’s laughing.
He terrified a girl at the gas station this morning. ;). If she wasn’t awake beforehand, she was after. 🙂

I said grace at thanksgiving dinner. I hope Odin was pleased at the dedication

Is there any mistletoe around here?

I need to find a catholic or Anglican church ( I belong to both) for midnight mass in Ottawa. Is there a cathedral there?

Entering Chicago. Sunny and cold. Clear roads continue. Skyline is a paper cutout of blue grey against the sky.
Chicago always seems a dirty city to me.
That is, until I go to Europe, or god forbid Asia.
Different cultural property definitions have different consequences. Americans make fewer tragedies if the commons. Religious particularism expresses itself as order and cleanliness.

Out of Minnesota and crossing Wisconsin. Not much between Issaquah and Minneapolis. Not much at all. ;). It’s beautiful nothingness, but it’s nothingness.

16 hours of driving. 950 miles covered. 250 miles to Bismarck. Not drowsy yet. Clear weather. Clear roads.
