Road Trip!

I am traveling quite a bit this summer, I bet many of you will as well. If you are taking a road trip, here is a handy calculator to help with budgeting:

I returned recently from a bus trip out to Rapid City. If you brave the bus, you might find it a great way to meet people.

On the theme of Independence Day, I did sit next to a mother of four who was on her way to study for a citizenship exam. What a great way to lead up to the fourth of July! I wonder how well the average citizen born in the U.S. would do on the exam?

When we changed buses, I met a man from the South who was coming to Minneapolis for a fresh start. I suppose that means different things to different people, but we all need a fresh start in one way or another in different points in our lives. Not everyone will take an epic bus ride to get that start and it is not always our choice to start over, but we will all face change in our lives.

The question is how will who we are manifest itself in times of great change? After an unplanned extra couple of hours in Souix Falls, he said "Ain't nothin'. Can't worry about nothin'." I think he will be fine.
