73 MpH
I drove over 300 miles at 73 MpH... with the sunset fading into the rear view mirror and the darkness of dead cornfields and soybeans enveloping my rental car. It would have been completely tiring were it not for the O'Jays, Garnet Mimms, Honey Cone, Dusty and the like. I stopped only once to refill the car with gas and myself with coffee.
Despite the calming two days out of town, it's always a pleasure to see the signs of civilization approaching on the horizon. At mile 230, the stars ahead turned into a line up of jets making their approach into O'Hare. At mile 285, the city skyline finally lit up the windshield. At mile 307, I'm finally home and beginning to unpack my suitcase for the second weekend in a row. Bring on 2007.
