6:16
moved campsites and hit the road. [some bastards
reserved our site for their family "camping"
event, so we got to pick up all of our crap and drag it
across the road to another site.]
6:17 KOA guy using leaf blower
on dirt. What the fuck? [Whenever I see someone
using a leaf blower in a parking lot, I think to myself
"what a waste." Seeing someone using a leaf
blower on dirt of all things was mind boggling.]
6:18 Nate had to run thru all
the dust form that guy. That was funny. [no. it
wasn't]
6:50 Land
of make believe. Unfortunatly, not nearly as cool
as it sounds. Just some amusement park. [The land
of make believe had these "historical marker"
looking signs pointing us towards it. It turns out that
it was a water park. What the hell? Maybe while we were
there we were supposed to "make believe this is something
cool" or "make believe that our parking lot
isn't a poop-ridden horse pasture"]
last night was so ridiculously
hot. We were seriously drenched in sweat as we tried to
fall asleep. [Man... it was like wetting the bed
with every peice of your skin at once. If you don't know
what that's like, you've never lived.]
8:04 Speaking of ridiculously
hot, we are stuck in New Jersey traffic again, and well,
it's ridiculously hot.
8:07 Serious traffic violation.
But we lived, and now no more traffic. It said official
use only, and we decided that we were both officially
over it. [Ever seen those little breaks in the
center divider that you're not supposed to use because
only stupid people with death wishes are supposed to use
them? It was one of those.]
8:12 Heading into NY city via
Gorge Washington bridge. Yahoo!
8:27 Nate honked his horn because
he wanted to be part of the team. [The second we
got into New York I felt this energy surge through me..
showing me that everything was actually everybody else's
fault, and the only way to show them that they were wrong
was to mercilessly use my horn. Either that or I just
wanted to be inconspicuous.]
8:41 world trade center cite
8:47 Hit the street.
9:55 Watched a park ranger perform
the oh-so glamorous job of scooping up a dead rat with
a shovel and dumping it into a garbage can. We're waiting
for the ferry to the statue of liberty to leave. We got
spots close to the door and are hoping to stand
up front. We
rule. We had hot sausages with onions, ketchup and
musturd off the cart near where we parked. They were good.
The guy cut the dog down the middle and put all the good
stuff inside. [Pure genius... I wouldn've never
known to do that. I guess that's why these guys are the
pros.]
10:00 Sounded departure horn.
Scared the crap out of me. Next stop, liberty island.
10:40 Chillin on liberty island...
Some girls totally copied our "statue
of liberty air" maneuver. Tools. Its still plenty
hot... yah...
island.
10:42 "I'm tellin' you Bah
Bah BOOSH! [We'd sorta' planned not to explain
this, but I'm going to try. Some kid was explaining the
process that we need to take to beat the terrorists. It
all culminated with him saying that we just need to blow
shit up. "I'm tellin' you..."]
11:53 Back on the NY streets.
Stopped by ellis island and jsut came back. Burned
the crap out of my hand on a big brass bull's
ass (bowling green bull). we're heading down to wall
st. after this stop to eat pizza. Pretty mediocre
pizza at that.
I wonder who is going to die out
of heat stroke first... The statue of liberty guy, or
the robot guy.
I just burped pretty loud... everybody
noticed... I blamed Brian.
12:30 Headed uptown on the L
train. Going to hit time
sqaure and rockefeller center. Hopefully we'll find
some other cool
stuff and figure out where the empire state building
is. Hmm... they don't announce stops here... this could
get interesting. At least the trains have A/C. Blessed
air conditioning.
The intercom sounds approximately
like this: "honflahmerflahaboa anerflehnaner".
Next stop is ours. We rule.
1:05 Time Square! Rockefeller
next.
[There is still 3 more pages of this day, but brian
is over typing it and sending it to me to edit and put
up here... who can blame the guy? It'll be up soon.]
