Percival, IA - 5/30/09

Today brought a couple new experiences, which is (usually) a welcome thing. As I was cruising on I-74 this morning, it occurred to me that I would be passing the famous Iowa 80 Truckstop around lunchtime. The place advertises 800 parking spots, and though I didn't count, I believe them. The place was, how do you say? Oh yeah, huge. I grabbed some lunch and browsed around for a bit before getting back on the road.

For those of you that don't know, I'm a fan of police car chase shows; it's always entertaing to see someone suddenly cross the median and drive the wrong way on the interstate. Sadly (and fortunately, I suppose), I didn't witness such a police chase. I did, however, cross the median myself and drive the "wrong way." Four times. I just wanted to see what it was like. Actually, it might have had something to do with my side of the interstate being closed for bridge work. What do you know, they really do use those stimulus dollars.
