hey y'all,

We drove through the Mid-west in a day and a half!  After a bout of debauchery in Sioux Falls, South Dakota with one of Alex's friends, the gun went off for a sprint-drive to the East Coast.  We were running out of money and have now made it right in time.  

The trip was so fine!

 We...
