San Antonio Trip Random Trivia...

So on the long stretches of boring driving B and I would come across things that peaked our curiousity and he of course has a magic phone. Here's what we've found:
> A Mesa is the cause of hard rock staying solid while the rest of the thing erodes away leaving the flat top.
> DWI stands for Driving While Intoxicated
> Mexican Jumping Beans are caused by moth larva being laid in the bean and they cause the thing to jump.
> The Salton Sea history is fascinating and horribly sad...
> NYC is the highest populated city, LA comin in 2nd, Chicago comin in 3rd...
> Left Lane for passing only isnt nessasarily a law, but your encouraged to stay in the right lane and only use the left lane for passing.
> The "Tiki Unvealing" that is happening at The Hut is a 50 ft tall Tiki statue that was built in 1971 that The Hut has saved and is revealing 2morow night.
> There are porcupines in Texas. We have yet to see an Armadillo.
We've also learned a hell of alot about each other, listened to plenty of classic rock, reggae and other road music. I crave skittles while driving. Both of us get bored as hell when we're passengers. Bugs hitting your car constantly gets old real fast. Texas has really nice rest areas. According to my gf, during St. Patricks Day they die the entire river on the Riverwalk bright green. When you get stopped at the inspection point in Texas they will stop you and look in your car for illegals. The size of raindrops vary whilst driving thru a storm. "The Thing" in Arizona is a weird collection of old junk, but there is also someone living there and we both thing that may be the real "Thing".
That is all for now. 2 more day blogs and I will be home....yay!
