roadway antics

30 hours in the car, 2000 + miles on my car and plenty of family. my spring break was an official success... but i bet you're wondering what it is i did to keep myself alert in the car, besides of course the usual rocking out to my favorite cds/iPod and the necessary practicing of my sweet dance moves... well, it's quite simple, being bored led me to doing several different things, but i think one of the things that i found most enjoyable was writing notes to things that i saw or did along the way. these were of course only expressed out loud in the car by myself, or simply in my thoughts. And because i know that i have officially picqued your interest i will let you in on a few of them. (you must forgive the format, for my 'enter' key is not currently functioning on my laptop; as a result, and for your viewing pleasure I have tried to separate them by color.) Dear McDonalds, located an hour south of St. Louis, I regret to inform you, that you are not very good at what you do, and could use some off store hours practice. Waiting in line at the drive-thru for twenty minutes for a McFlurry, was not really my idea of how things should roll out. I also noticed that when I got to the pick-up window. There were several customers staring out the pick-up window at me, for they were bored, and tired of waiting for their food as well. Here are a few suggestions to help you improve your business: Work faster. Have more flavors of McFlurry available, namely the oh, so delightful Take5 flavor. Give the customers inside something to look at, preferrably something shiny, so that i, the customer, am no longer uncomfortable passing by your pick-up window. That is all. Dear 101.1, radio station of St.Louis, You blew my mind with how perfect your music selection truly was. I have to say, that i did indeed love it, and that if you had given me the 3 digit area code preceeding 969-0101, I would certainly have called in and let you know that myself. Will you please start a sister station in Green Bay, WI, effective immediately! thank you. Dear Mister 'I drive a Dodge Stratus', your antics on the road were not necessary. I can see that you drive a dodge stratus, but i do not think that entitles you to owning the road, or being so rude. I would suggest that you become more courteous to others, effective immediately. Dear Wapsipinicon River, I was delighted to meet your acquaintance, so much so, that your name is stuck in my head. I still remember the first time I passed your sign, most likely because it was only 2 days ago. After seeing your name while flying by at 70 some miles an hour, it took me approximately 3 minutes to pronounce it out loud. But once I got it, i couldn't get it out of my head. If ever, I were to create a word of my own, I could only dream that it would reach somewhere near your potential.
