Road Thoughts

Thoughts over 14 hours of driving across Australia:

It feels ironic that the Heysen Tunnels cut through a landscape that Heysen was dedicated to meandering across.

The roof of the car blocking me from swallowing the last drops of my takeaway coffee is evidence of the cold injustice of the universe.

Hopefully that's the only rain I'll be have to deal with today. Don't say this out loud, don't want to jinx anything.

Hay Plain. No thoughts. Lots of clouds.

Hay

Passenger seat salad a bit disappointing. Not due to driving, just not enough hummus.

Bit more rain, knew I was going to jinx it. Ah well, not too bad.

It's always rush hour somewhere.

Why are cows black and white?

My clockwork morning poo has been perfectly, conveniently delayed this whole trip, despite 3 large petrol station coffees. Perhaps because I haven't loaded up any word-related games on my phone today.

In hindsight, the travel weariness may have been creeping in. But I blame the wide angle lens.

This is the fourth time I've overtaken this slow ute.

It sure is raining a lot. I feel like a genius for not adding 2 psi of extra air instead of 4.

Don't think about word-related games, you're almost there.

Fuck me it is raining hard.

As long as you can see the reflectors it's okay.

I did it. Time for a long word game.

Longest day trip I've ever done, I reckon.
