50 Miles to Ogallala, NE

We're in the middle of Nebraska, approaching the Mountain Time zone change. Our two previous goals are a few hours behind us and we're well on our way to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Mile 1550 of our trip means we're over halfway to Seattle, but have yet to reach the Rocky Mountains-sized hump of the trip, I'm afraid. We think we might have dropped a day, which is pretty encouraging, though.

We're getting confident in our driving abilities and have yet to get sick of each other or our respective radio choices. E's fishing around the radio stations like mad but is only finding church services anad country. What she wouldn't do to get some Jason Durullo I don't want to find out. I'm about halfway through Moneyball, by Michael Lewis. It's a book about baseball statistics that I read quite a while ago. It's still very interesting, but I mainly use it to ensure Elizabeth sleeps when she's not driving. We're also listening to Storm Front together. It's the first novel in the Dresden Files. As I was told, it is indeed pretty poorly written, but the concept isn't bad.

P.S. As I finished writing this we changed to MT. It's only 5:00pm now. A whole extra hour to drive!
