Nebraska

Time:  3:33pm
Mileage:  3834.6
Driver:  Laura
Song:  Hard to Be Humble (Mac Davis) – silently – Ipod issues.  Mac was singing his heart out, it just took us a few stabs at getting it hooked up to the car radio properly.  Mac never get’s the respect he deserves.

Omaha, the Nebraska half of the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro area, served as our touch point.  Meaning no disrespect to Nebraska, but frankly, we were more concerned about the IPod not working…There’s a lot of road still ahead of us and I’ve used up all of my knock-knock jokes.

Knock-Knock.  Who’s there?  Banana.  Banana who?  Knock-Knock.  Who’s there?  Banana.  Banana who?  Knock-Knock.  Who’s there?  Orange.  Orange who?  Orange you glad I didn’t say banana!  Get’s ’em everytime!
