how long have we been on this road?...

This weekend I went to Bethany Beach, Delaware to visit Dan Hammond and some other PC '05 apparently. My coworker drove and we were both surprised to find just how much...nothingness there is out there. I found myself amidst a lot more corn than I thought I would. And Bethany is nothing like Myrtle! 15 minutes out of the place and it's like civilization and/or commercialism gave up. I'd like a house 20 min from the beach, wouldn't you? Maybe a cheesy surf shop or two? But no. Just corn. A lack of a change of scenery makes it hard to gauge how long 10 miles is...

Other fun things of note are:
-the "Gay St" exit signs, where the y is always misaligned for some reason.
-eating at Sonic, which I had no idea was a drive-in, and that was pretty awesome. Had a chili cheese burger, and a banana cream pie shake. WhoaMG.
-I got 32 oz. beach fries at the beach. I decided against the 64 oz. (also DE has no sales tax!)

Alas the trip ended on a poor note when we ran into traffic, doubling the length of the car ride back to 5.5 hours. Also listened to the same Linkin Park CD the whole ride back. Ask me if you want to know "why" or how I survived.

Can you believe the summer's almost over?
