Well, now that the Red Sox stuck it to the Indians and the Yankees finally dropped one to KC, I guess it's okay for us to begin our road trip. Wait. What? What has major league baseball got to do with 10,000 miles of open (sort of) highway? Well, nothing. I just wanted to thank Manny Ramirez and Wily Mo Pena for the big blasts last night, and thank the lowly Kansas City Royals for shutting out the Bombers. Way to go, everyone!
Well, this is it, people. Today we begin the journey westward. We got our Conestoga back from the dealer yesterday, presumably all ready to go. But before I could take the car home, the kindly folks at Lovering Volvo, hoping to avoid a lawsuit, printed up a list of authorized Volvo dealers in many of the states we'll be traveling through. Fills you with confidence, doesn't it? (Note to investors: There are no Volvo dealers in Wyoming, and one in Montana. Maybe it's time for Savelle Volvo of Cheyenne? Or Savelle Volvo of Billings? Have your people give my people a call.)
Not much more to say at the moment. We loaded a few things into the car last night and just about everything else is ready to go in, which I'll be getting to shortly.
Next post: From the Road, perhaps.

Hey guys - have fun! Feeling your pain with the Volvo - I said goodbye Volvo, hello Honda over a year ago, and love all the time I save not visiting Volvo dealerships...
Drive safe, and don't forget to make sure your feet aren't touching the floorboard when you cross over railroad tracks! Very bad luck in Volvos, I hear...
