    - Lunch at Cafe north of Broken Bow is pleasing once again.
    - 2 miles north of Jay OK, we run into a downpour.  Cars are pulling over to the side of the road.  Runt offers
      'I do not like this'.  U-turn, back to gas station for 30 minutes while it blows trhough.
    - X offers 'We will sneak in behind it on 43, which is straight as an arrow'.  This proves:
        - to be a lie, a lie, and more damn lie
