Shit Hole Stink Indiana

In another episode of Road Comic vs The Road... I’ll be the first to admit The Road won this last round... I was tired, hot, confused and ornery most of the trip... But losing a round, isn’t the same as losing the war...

Some of you may know that I am in the process of relocating to Idaho Falls, for a nuclear job at the Idaho National Laboratory... While I have some mixed feelings about such a distant move... I realized one benefit this past weekend...

Never again will I need to drive through the shit hole I-90 corridor of northern Indiana... I cannot believe they have the balls to charge people tolls to drive through there...

Though there may be some positives about the drive... ie… You can pay tolls using a credit or debit card... The machine is so slow the traffic gets backed up when only one lane is open... While a good idea... Could it be possible that the people smart enough to make change have already gotten the hell out of northern Indiana??? Thus necessitating the need for said machine???

And what are the tolls being used for??? Most of the road is in shit hole condition... Yes, there are numerous rest stops not very far apart... A seeming convience... But the tolls don't seem to be used to hire anyone to empty the overflowing trash barrels outside each rest stop or to pick up the trash blowing through the parking areas...

And they certainly aren't being used to hire anyone to clean the shit hole, filthy, smelly rest rooms at each and every stop...

Instead they are staffed with oversexed hormonal teenagers who are too busy trying to convince their pimple faced teenage girlfriends to “take a load ‘cuz it's good for their complexion" than trying to do their job...

Note to the McDonald's and Hardy's workers at said rest stops... Do you think the condition of those rest rooms doesn't affect your sales???

When I stop, I like most people, use the rest room first... I certainly wasn't headed your way for food after visiting your rest rooms...

Yes, I’m not even there yet and the fresh air of the great northwest never smelled so sweet... Now that I'll never again have to visit the shit hole stink of I-90 Indiana...
