    Will you be going to LL Bean while you’re in Maine? As I recall, they’re open 24 hours.

    Uh oh, I noticed that the number of disagreements in the car has increased from 3 to 4… I like the addition of a “road kill” category, by the way.

    Noticed you made it to the Detroit area. We’re currently at the tippy top of Michigan enjoying a nice resort. See you in Chicago next week!

    Vince wants to know if you’ve gone by Ann Arbor to pay homage to the Big House?

    P.S. Noticed you’ve gone 8,000 miles with only one oil change. We’re thinking you might be due for another.

    Glad to see you made it to South Dakota! I’ve been waiting for more posts. Surely something exciting has happened since you left us last Wednesday? 😉

    Be sure to check out Salem/Portland, OR. My college roommate and her husband live there and they love it. They say the weather is great—not too cold in the winter and beautiful in the summer.

    Only 4 arguments after 101 days in a space of …what?…abt 2 squre meters …pffffffff…impressive!!!

    Me, I manage to argue with my wife over the phone at abt 40 kilometers distance………………. so 101 days in such small space there will be blood on the seat!! :-)))

    I think I see a potential SAT word problem here…

    Judith and Ronjoy are on a road trip across the United States and are relying on a faulty GPS to get them to their destinations. If they leave New Mexico at 8 a.m. on a Wednesday and drive four hours west to Arizona, what time is it in Rome?

    Please show all of your work.
