Manhattan Kansas.
I love these short days! I only had to drive about 350 miles today. On the downside, the weather was miserable. It was in the high 30′s and low 40′s and rained/drizzled on and off the entire trip. Very misty. Turn the wipers on. Turn the wipers off.
Last night at the hotel, I got to talking to an old couple who had just come from Breckenridge, CO. They told me I-70 in Kansas was crawling with cops. They even got pulled over by a cop going 76 in a 75 mph zone. They got off with a warning. They were right. I’ve driven through Kansas on I-70 many times and I’ve never seen as many cops on the side of the road looking for speeders as I did today between Kansas City and the turnoff to Manhattan. Most of them appeared to be county sheriffs. I guess their counties needed some revenue. I usually set my cruise control about five miles over the speed limit, but I went slower than that today.
I heard on the radio, and I read on the web today, that TV has given Bridgegate 17 times the coverage in one day than IRS scandal in six months. After all, Khristy Kreme must be destroyed. Media bias? Nah!
Had dinner tonight with Jeremy.
Off to Denver tomorrow.
