hi there.

guess where i am.

i'm back in michigan. for now.

first, i think i deserve a medal. and a giant cookie. because i was on the same bus from seattle all the way to chicago. when we ('we' being the folks on the bus) left seattle very early saturday morning, the bus was full (it was a 55 seater). when we got to chicago this morning at 10am, there were only 4 of us left who got on at seattle. and thus, we deserve a medal and a giant cookie.

i'll write more about the trip tomorrow, but i'd like to say a little something about some bus stations i stopped at.

seattle bus station: i hate it. no offense to anyone who might actually like it (what are you smoking and why don't you share it with the rest of the class?), but i dislike it. plus, the tile annoys the hell out of me.

minneapolis bus station: damn, you swanky.

vancouver b.c bus station: if you have buses that arrive at 2am, you should be open. that way, lonely americans who don't know anyone, can sleep inside on a bench, instead of outside in the freezing cold. i could see my breath. that qualifies as being cold.

houston bus station: i hate you too.

denver bus station: i don't really remember you.

salt lake city bus station: same with you.

cafe at the penticton bus station: you make really good pancakes.

i'll write more tomorrow after i've taken a shower. oh the excitement! (really)
