Tales From the Road I

BRONXVILLE, N.Y. - Day One's driving is over, and my legs are getting reacquainted with being in the car for hours and hours. Yikes. Anyway, the rain kept up (y'know, as opposed to coming down) so Day One was fairly uneventful. A few notes, though:

An accident stopped traffic for a few miles on I-84 at the MA/CT border; without knowing what was ahead, and curious that it happened right on the state line, my first thought was, "Great, Massachusetts is going to allow gay marriage -- now we'll have to go through security checkpoints at the border."

I had read that Holy Land, USA in Waterbury was closed. Sad, but I wouldn't have gone anyway. But the giant cross overlooking Waterbury is still there, lit up, so it's either still open, or someone still pays the electric bill, or some kind of miracle is underway. If I cared, I'd find out.

Now I'm going to spend the evening hanging out with my delightful sister and her college buddies. This could be interesting...

Well, it's good to know you made it to New York but how could you pass up a giant electric cross on a hill (I'm only asuming that it's on a hill) on a rainy day? It's fun to tempt god every once in a while. Or maybe it's just me that does that.
By the way, is Holy Land, USA like some crazy Christian amusement park with giant automan Jesuses and burning bushes that dance and sing?
'Cause I'd like to see that.
