    Snerk! That’s the way I’ve felt on some of my cross-country sojourns.

    During a cross-country trip The Lone Ranger bought my wife and me breakfast at a Waffle House in Missouri… well he was DRESSED as the Lone Ranger – advertising a Country & Western station!

    “I don’t want to go anywhere. There are many places I would like to visit, many places I would like to be, it’s the ‘going’ part I don’t like.” -- a old friend used to sat this.

    I drive for a living, so to me if you aren’t lying on a beach somewhere, it really isn’t a vacation.

    It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.

    Actually, driving across the U.S. is awesome, if you’re not in a hurry, and can afford it. The second part is more of an issue these days, with the price of gas.

    @Jack Straw

    Gas prices are certainly a consideration, but look at it this way:
    Driving 3000 miles at 25 mpg would require 120 gallons. At 3.50 a gallon, that would be $420. If gas were “only” $2 a gallon, it would cost $240. The difference would be $180, and in the scheme of a cross-country trip, that’s really not much. This goes back to folk’s cancelling their vacation plans because gas went up .30 a gallon.

    will Leo have the courage to tell Alex it’s not going well for him, that he’s unnerved by what just happened, the limbo between present reality & flashback? or will he be afraid to “ruin the honeymoon”….amtrak & airplanes are enclosed spaces…..PTSR survivors don’t like that much….tunnels & bridges are stressful…..

    for me, Leo’s eye reminds me of the saying: in the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is King. he is a very Kingly dude, seeing through to the truth of things. in the new and degraded America.

    Seems some want to subvert each strip to their political agenda while a whole a lot of others respond literally like it is real.
    It is a cartoon strip. Get over it.
