Karl Straub, Field Trip Chaperone!
7:00 AM.
Before we even got on the bus, we'd managed to misplace one kid. Apparently keeping track of two kids is beyond me.
7:15. On bus now. Tried to say hi to driver, then I noticed he had dead eyes like a mackerel.
9:40 AM.
Watching the Incredibles. Jason Lee and Craig T. Nelson have been bellowing at each other for 45 minutes. Art Blakey's cymbals and Lee Morgan's trumpet are cranking in my headphones to ward off potential Thespian Fatigue. The mom next to me (name withheld) said she hoped her snoring wasn't bothering me. She's going to have to snore louder than a paper mill for me to hear it at this point.
9:53 AM.

Pleasantly surprised to discover that this rest stop has vending machines that stock arsenic. Sweet!
Aw, dang. Waking up now-- it was just a beautiful dream.
Phone battery slowly dying, like a character in a Thomas Mann story. Battery at 31%. (Legs and ass at 29%).

"What language we speakin'?" --our tour guide.
I learned today that Native Americans invented limericks, mullets, and blunt force trauma. They also invented corn dogs (or "maize dogs," as they referred to them). An attempt to introduce white Europeans to the custom of daily hygiene met with mixed results.
