The mustang is back!

So, after 6 extra days on Lucas's couch, the car is finally fixed!  We should be on the road early tomorrow morning (knock on wood/cross you fingers/oh lord please get us out of here already!).

Our itinerary has been drastically adjusted to account for lost time.  We are stopping through St Louis tomorrow before heading straight for Knoxville the next day.  I'm still excited for the rest of our adventure, although it has sort of morphed from a sweet road trip to a sweet trip to Chicago plus some extra stuff.

And our time here has been quite enjoyable.  Today we went for a swim in Lake Michigan.  Yesterday I witnessed a violent word exchange between an elderly woman and a teenage mother over who deserved the handicapped bus seat more.  The day before I caught a guy in front of me at the public library watching hardcore porn on one of the computers.  Chicago is definitely my speed.
