annoying sign ups

I've registered for accounts on so many sites I'm tired of telling people the truth. Especially when it's a site I don't really trust. Well BugMeNot.com lets you share those logins.

I've always thought it would be cool to have the same thing for all those stores (CVS, Safeway, etc.) that ask for your phone number to track your purchases. If someone would just make a bunch of accounts at all these stores with an easy to remember phone number (like 123-456-7890) and then everyone could use that same account everywhere. Maybe I'll start that soon. I'll tell you where I've made accounts.

The Big U-Turn

So the trip has ended. After 22 days and about 10,000 miles I'm finally back in DC. I've gone from 32 states that I have visited to 42. Now I have not been Maine, New Hampshire, Michigan, North Dakota, Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma in the lower 48. This is now my map at World66.com.

I am in Montana tonight at the Big Sky Motel in Superior. Since we have been camping and motel/hoteling this is only the second time I've had internet access. The first time was at the Fairfield Inn in Tracy, California. That is were I first noticed that right after Mammoth Cave the images weren't posting correctly. Not sure why but I'll keep trying. Well there would be too much to write so I'll leave it at that for now. Off to Glacier NP tomorrow...
