What I really hate is when I have my cruise control on and I am going faster
than the cars in both lanes and therefore have to knock off the cruise.

Also, they spent about a million dollars to knock out several hundred trees
on I-57 just north of Effingham, IL, to put in a big rest area. But they
decided not to put in restrooms, so people just went in whatever trees were
remaining. They didn't want people doing that, but they still didn't want to
build johns, so they just closed the whole damn thing down anyway. Jeez, how
stupid. I haven't been on 57 for a few years, so I don't know what the story
is down there. One thing's for sure, Illinois has lousy rest areas.

Holy cow, the Kansas Turnpike is the worst. It's in much worse shape than
most interstates, and you have to pay anyway for it. Whenever I go west of
Kansas City on I-70 I feel like grabbing the attendant's glasses and throw-
ing them in front of my rear wheel.

What I also really hate is when groups take busses down to Florida with signs
saying, "Honk if you are 'whatever'" in the windows. So trite.
