End of Day 2

It's the end of day two, and we're in Cheyenne, WY. Everything's going fairly smoothly so far. We stayed in Davenport, IA, last night and will get as close to Reno, NV, as possible tomorrow. The cats are fine. They whine a little bit in their cages but then resign themselves to sitting in the car, just like we do. At night they enjoy exploring the hotel rooms (and waking us up to play). Last night Grendel decided that sitting in his carrier all day wasn't confining enough so he slept in a cupboard under the bathroom sink.

We just ate at Outback Steakhouse, the only restaurant we can walk to from the hotel. We were too tired to drive to anything better, and Cheyenne doesn't seem to offer much variety anyway. There's lots of steak. We are in cattle country.

A few notes:
1. Ohioans drive slowly. I'm no speed demon, so when I'm flying by you on the highway, you must be a major slowpoke.
2. Nebraska is boring. But Nebraskans drive quickly. I guess they want to get off the highway as soon as possible, too.
3. The ipod is a godsend. After 2 days there hasn't been a repeat song yet.

Sleepy now.
