Glennalicious: PA is for Pretty Annoying

PA is for Pretty Annoying

I think all road trips should start badly so that anything past the first bad day will be considered good days.

I picked up the super-smooth Mercedes on Friday and left the city around 3. Because of the rain and flooding, the highways were snarled up for quite a distance outside the city. However, I was surrounded by leather, chilling to the iPod with its little FM transmitter, and snacking on fudge brownies. Not a bad way to sit in traffic.

Pennsylvania was a whole different story. I picked up speed and the miles were becoming abbreviated. I just didn't count on I80 construction work coinciding with the GIANT MONSTER TRUCK festival going on somewhere in the middle of the state. Not only was traffic snarled up for about 25 miles, but I was surrounded by tons of mullets and big hair. It took two hours to get through that little section of highway.

Two more sections like that, and I'm seriously done. Saturday is a much better day, I know this.

How did AZ/NM/TX white trash land up in PA?

Mullets, mall hair and monster trucks. You'd think you were in Ohio, aside from the fact that we have decent freeways. Pennsylvania freeways are ALWAYS under construction. I hate when I drive east, and generally try to avoid PA at all costs.
