Yes dear readers, that's right. I'm going to scratch my first lotto ticket of travel season. RIGHT NOW. While I type this. Let's go.... (set the scene: since I missed actual Bingo last night, I bought the State of Michigan's finest bingo scratch off!!)
All I need is an O67......
Wah wah. Sorry friends... turns out scratch ticket bingo is as overcomplicated and unrewarding as actual bingo. No dice in Michigan.
ANYWAY.
Is this really only my third day of travel? Not the third week? Too much to process has happened already. After a brief detour to see the prosthetic leg of Santa Anna (as any good Texan would and should), I made it to Indiana and the site of my first fall fair. Hopefully this event was not an indicator of things to come. If it was, I should probably be prepared to spend half of the fall season soaking wet, holding down a tent that is trying to blow away (as well as my skirt, which was trying to do the same), and silently praying for lightning so that I can go inside. This means the second half of fall would then be moderately sunny, full of mosquitoes, and would involve a lunch of pretzels and powerade.
BUT I DIGRESS. I have now left the Hoosier state at a comfortable distance, and have two days to cruise around Michigan in a shiny Fiat with an air conditioner that blows hot air directly on my face. Good thing it's 90 degrees out!
....Yes, I would like some cheese with that whine. IN OTHER NEWS, pros of this week: airports I always forget are surprisingly nice (shout out to Detroit and Indianapolis), a free beer at my hotel upon check-in last night (seriously, Best Western Plus is the new love of my life), a drive through the Watermelon Capital of the Midwest (no time to stop, unfortunately), and a visit to the one and only Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library. This last one is a bit indescribable, but should you ever find yourself in Springfield.... GET OUT. Quickly. But first take a stop at the museum. Worth it!
