> I got through all 6 toll booths smoothly, so I'm no longer afraid of them. Hehe. Since I drove straight through, I experienced everything all at once. New York was the longest state I've ever driven through. I never thought I'd get out of it.

Heh. If I could get to New York without going through the intervening states, it'd be the shortest I've ever been through. Foreign exchange students (almost always fun anyway) from Europe are astounded when we drive for hours and are still in the country, let alone the state. Try driving north-to-south through California one day. Or be insane like my brother, and drive from southern Oregon to southern Texas in one day. Or, better yet, don't. That's far too long a drive for one day, or should be, or just makes him weird.

> Overall, the drive was smooth. I did notice an odd thing that I thought I'd share. In most states this is how it goes: a line of traffic going the speed limit is usually in the right lane, and then occasionally a few cars pass on the left going maybe 10 miles over the speed limit or so. But, it seems, in Ohio we do it a little different. There is a line of cars on the left all going around 80, and then a few cars pass them on the right doing 90. We all just ignore the speed limit together. hehe. At least this is how it was when I first got into Ohio. I'm sure it's not always this way, but it did strike me as odd that it went on like that for a while.

I've never seen a car going the speed limit or below here in town, though occasionally there's some out of state cars going below the speed limit on the freeway. So I guess we're like Ohio.

> Anyway, I got home almost an hour earlier than I expected, so I got to see my mom still awake and all. And I got to let my sister and mother try Moxie. They hated it, just as I expected. hehe. Oh well, more for me.

Makes me want to try it. What is it, exactly?
