What does -26F feel like?
In a word: Shitty. I empathize with those of you in Oklahoma this week where temperatures are colder than the north pole. I can’t imagine -28F being a usual thing for Okies.

Road Trip Rules and Etiquette
I’ve covered over 50,000 miles crossing the country in all directions. Its time to lay down some rules and guidelines for drivers and passengers.
Stupid Parking Lot
My folks lease an office space in Bridgeton MO for their medical practice. A while ago someone came out to repave the parking lot and paint new lines. I’m not sure how the heck this happened — look at the pictures to see what I mean.

Why does the Impala exist?
It’s freshly 2011 as I write this, and the Impala’s replacement has been pushed back to 2014. 2014! By then we’ll have flying cars and iPhones that translate dog barks into words. I’ll be 32 years old. Hopefully by then they’ll invent a pill that lets my hair grow back.
