Vacay Observations

Spent some quality time with She Who Must Be Obeyed and one of the chilluns, SIL's, and g'kids.

Observations:

The bypass in Chicago is finally done.  Expensive, too.

Roads in Wisconsin are just as good as roads in TN, GA, and IN.

Indiana I-65 reconstruction is a pitiable hot mess.  Two years running.

I-24 at Chat'nooga needs another lane.  But that requires moving a big chunk of mountain.

Gasoline here is mid-price compared to 5 other States.

Holiday Inn at Franklin, TN is an exceptionally nice facility.  Pricey, but nice.

Comfort Suites/Airport in Louisville is a very good value.  Older facility but VERY clean, spacious.

Wisconsin cigarettes are significantly over-taxed.

God is good.  Weather was perfect every single day, going and coming.

Chrysler mini-van will get 27MPG with the hammer down.

When I drove to Louisiana, I kept it at 65 and got 35.6mpg in my Forester. At 70, it dropped to 27.9. I set it back to 65.
