Extremely long distance drive

Going from Kansas City to Denver is a long drive and even more so on the map of America that I’m using. Still I don’t think it will take me two days of driving as I expected and as I told some people… I think it can be done in about eight hours.

As a little boy I can clearly remember my father one day bringing home a special type of sailor cookies. This was a backed though of about one centimeter thick and about a 6 or 8 centimeter diameter. As soon as I took a bite (which proved quite difficult) from this rock solid dry bread the tasteless substance absorbed all the saliva from my mouth and left my mouth dry. The substance slowly passed to my stomach and any feeling of hunger acutely disappeared.

The reason for the previous paragraph is that before my long trip to Denver I prepared myself my buying some bread for the trip. I bought round doughnut like pieces of bread and ham, cheese and lettuce. I wanted to make myself some BLT’s, but after the first bite I realized my mistake. The bread tasted like the ‘sailor cookie’ I remembered from my youth. The only difference being a weird sweet after taste.

Leaving Kansas was nice. Suddenly I entered an area will lots of little oil pumping machines. These little oil pumps looked funny and were like grown men toys.

Once in Colorado the little oil pumps had disappeared and now there was only grass… Enormous seas of grass everywhere.
