Odd news from the US

I don’t understand why anyone even wanted to be bothered to write such news. It’s no fun to sit in the back of a car for a long ride, not to mention across the country. I would rather drive the car myself, as I did from D.C. to Seattle in the 1990s. I did sightseeing, visited a friend in Madison, WI, and made it to Seattle in six days. A few friends hoped to ride back with me, but I moved to Hawaii.
