Life or Something Close

Getting ready to leave...

It's almost time to head to Indy but I felt like doing something so I'm in the library doing this blogging thing again. I went to my night class at 1130 this morning so I don’t' have to go and now me and Kyle are going out to see Jeremy Hotz at Crackers in Broad Ripple. I saw this guy on Comedy Central once, truly a great comedian. Ehh... its one last hurrah before next week and Florida! We're leaving in like 31 hours now. Going through Cincy this time cause it actually is about an hour shorter... cool with me.
That reminds me of something funny I heard once about people telling each other how far away stuff is. Some places like New York, tell you how many miles/blocks it is to someplace, not here in Indiana though, it's hour many minutes/hours it is. Everyone knows it's about 20 minutes to Kokomo from Peru; it's about an hour to Indy, its 3 hours to Bloomington, etc. I have no idea how many miles it is to Bloomington but I do know if I leave at 9am I'll get there pretty close to noon, depending on traffic. Traffic in Indiana is a bit of a different thing too, most people worry about traffic jams on interstates, we don’t' have that, we have a combine driving down the middle of a narrow country road at 20mph. The only interstate to worry about in Indiana is 465, it's like the Indy 500 all the time there, old ladies even flip you off for driving less than 10mph over the speed limit. Anyways I should go... later all...
