portland or bust

In honor of BB's four day drive to Portland with Monty the dog that starts tomorrow, this is a list of the top ten ideas of what BB can do to entertain himself on the trip.

10. For the first few hours he should be on I-70 in Kansas or I-80 in Nebraska, so a nap should be in order. He shouldn't have to steer at all as the drive is pretty much a straight shot. Even if he were to drive off the road, what's he going to hit anyway?

9. Listen to a small percentage of the songs he has downloaded over the past month.

8. Count the number of cars he passes in Wyoming. He could use the fingers on both hands if necessary.

7. Do a Chinese fire drill with Monty and close and lock the doors before Monty can get back in. That dog will be so embarrassed!

6. Count the hours between when he first sees the Rocky Mountains to when he actually reaches the Rocky Mountains.

5. Try to find a coffee shop in Salt Lake City. Apparently Mormons don't like their caffeine.

4. Sing 80s songs to Monty. "I want to know what love is..."

3. Just stop in random locations and look for something fun to do. If BB knew how to be creative he could make this work. Just kidding, I figured I would parrot Forrest for a moment.

2. Remember once he gets to Portland everything that he forgot to pack.

1. Dream up hundreds of reasons why the whole trip, no matter how enjoyable it was, "sucked."

Hi-larious!! I feel like I'm there with you giving BB a hard time. You've obviously taken the cross KS/Neb drive before!

Maybe he could find a new restaurant to stop at and experience the culture of the city.

BB does that mean there will be a top 10 list on your blog of "things that made the trip a bust?"
