I picked a point to "walk" to on the U.S. Map by a precise and scientific method.....I closed my eyes and pointed....!!! This highly calculated plan took me to Garden City, Kansas. It is 1013 miles from me!!! Can I just start out by saying...WOW!>%&(%&&#(#(@I#_@$IT$) OK...now that I have that out of the way....I guess it's time to start walking, eh?? I guess I will keep a log on here and let you know when I get to Kansas?!? Doe's anyone live on my way from Ohio to Kansas...I may need a virtual break at your house!!. ..or a lift??!?!! It's says that it should take a little over sixteen hours...to drive there!!!....Lois...what have you gotten me into Wish me luck...I'll need it

Girl, stay away from the golden arches they are on every corner, they will entice you with promises of cheap fulfillment, but ultimately they will just poison you and leave you to regret your encounter. I think I need to stop watching cheesy movies...
