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.
