The morning was cool and pretty enjoyable so I was as awake as I ever was luckily.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, a random shot in Pennsylvania, which turned out to be the only state worthwhile on the way over.

Look at how I&#8217;m cut out! What is with that? After I saw this picture on her camera I cried the rest of the way to Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the dust devil thingie. This thing seriously looked like a forming tornado and I pretty much thought we were going to have to barrel through it or hope that it didn&#8217;t come toward us.I actually came to a complete stop on the highway before venturing into it. Elise took some video that I stripped the audio from to preserve my manliness as well as the ears of children who may be watching for some odd reason.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/p1elB7__M88\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/p1elB7__M88\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing much to write about other than the fact that I thought I was going to die in a crazy dust storm.
