BJ's Rules of the Road

A road trip is Serious Business ^tm. When one contemplates the undertaking of such holy pilgrimages, one must understand that there are certain rules....certain....commandments, if you will, if one wishes to undertake such a trip successfully. A true traveler respects the rules of the road. Remember: It's not about the destination. It's about the trip.

1. Thou Shalt Always Taketh the Scenic Route, for the interstate can be boring.
2. Thou Shalt Stop If A Place Looketh Interesting, even if it is only the world's largest thermometer.
3. Thou Shalt Not Eat at McDonalds or Any Other Chain, for it is unclean in my sight, and verily, there shalt be many a dining adventure on the road that doth not consist of a drive-thru or containeth "flair".
4. Thou Shalt Not Kill me when I am halting at yet another scenic overlook, for they are scenic. And overlook things.
5. Thou Shalt Not Mocketh, when I screameth like a little girl when going over a mountain bridge. Acrophobia is no trivial matter.
6. Respect the Super 8, and keep it holy.
7. Thou Shalt honor thy Scion Xb and Thy Navigator, for she is competent, and has the map.
8. Thou Shalt Not Covet thy Combos. Also, could you hand me a Coke?
9. Thou Shalt Always Look for Interesting Places to Photograph The Gnome and to hold a fencing bout.
10. Thy Driver Shalt Choose the Listening Selection; The Passenger Shalt Have No Say and Shalt Not Complain that thy Driver has chosen the same damn song for the last 50 miles.
