Still on the road, so this will be a quick one. After hitting Vegas, Denver, Des Moines, and now Chicago (and all the empty spaces in between), I’ll be back in the best city this side of the Atlantic just in time for the Pistons to win it all tomorrow night.

Some of the more interesting things on this trip:

– Saw a sign for “handicapped accessible fueling” on I-80 in Illinois today. First and only sign that I’ve seen like that. Long overdue.

– Saw a sign for wireless internet available at a rest stop in Iowa. Yes. Iowa.

– There was a 45 minute, 4 mile long traffic slowdown on the I-55 heading into Chicago this afternoon. Why? An accident on the other side of the freeway, so everyone had to spend 15 minutes looking at it. Rubbernecking a-holes!

– Saw lightning hit Denver just as we got over the mountains and could take in the wide expansse of city lights below us. Pretty excellent.

– Nice people live in Nebraska.

– The Spurs are clearly not as good as the Pistons.

See you all soon with more posts, live from Motown.
