We left MN around 8am and drove non-stop (except for lunch at the Norsk Nook in Osseo, WI) and made Chicago slightly after 7pm. The last 50 miles was almost literally stop and go traffic. Thankfully P drove that part and I mostly listened to Alice Sebold "The Almost Moon" I think I'm half way through. It probably wasn't the best choice for today's drive, a little too dark.

2 years ago during the summer, the four of us P, her son R(yeah the one that's gone) my son and me went to Wisconsin Dells. Driving by there was really hard for me, thankfully P and A were sleeping so they didn't see me bawling. I had to stop crying because the roads weren't that great and I had some precious cargo.

I did think a lot about [livejournal.com profile] cluelessinchi  as we've been here so far....

remember when I mentioned that I got pulled over on Saturd...er..Sunday morning? yeah we had noticed a number of folks pulled over. My driving record is completely clean, I've got a speeding ticket from when I was 18 which is almost 20 years ago but nothing really since but a handful of PAID parking tickets.

Last night P got pulled over for "swerving all over the road". She wasn't, she's an excellent driver. They of course ask her what she's doing in this area when her license says she's an hour from home. She's driving to work from a "friend"'s house. They didn't give her a ticket or anything but a warning.

My guess is that there is some kind of spring fever campaign through the local authorities to try and pull lots of folks over. Thankfully, we both got warnings.
