The truth will set you free
Yes, it is true. Trucks must use left lane in tunnel. I can't ever just give in. I had to stick to my guns and hope/pray that another sign wouldn't pop up; however, much to my dismay, the stars were with Chris and there it was: the sign. It's cool though. Since i'm right most of the time (hehe) Chris can hold on to this one and not feel as discouraged. Ha!
Anyway. We were home last weekend. It was pretty sweet. Tivo had numerous play dates and he was being trained by Gma Warren to be an outside dog. He was starting to get the hang of it by the end of the weekend. We had a bar-b-que Friday night at Jeff's house, a baptism and party-time on Saturday, and breakfast with the Spillers on Sunday. It was an awesome weekend. I will post some pictures soon, but now I'm going to look up places to live in Vegas!

Hover crafts use right lane
Let me take this rare opportunity, where I actually have free time to blog, to tell you about a time I was right.
The scene is this: Andree and I are driving in our pimpmobile (aka the lincoln) to Reno, Nevada on a beautiful sunny afternoon. We are rocking out to sweeny todd.....well if you can call it rocking out the third time through the SAME cd in four hours....the dog is in the backseat enjoying the ride, and we don't have a care in the world. We both have three days off from work and we couldn't be more happy to be with each other (well, see each other for that matter. We did go almost three days without seeing each other because of my stupid second job....but I got rid of that).
As we approach a tunnel a few miles off, a semi truck suddenly veers into the left lane we occupy cutting us off. I change lanes to go around him and Andree points out how odd the situation is. I casually remark, "I think the trucks have to get into the left lane for the tunnel. I remember a sign saying that."
At this point Andree says I am crazy and that I made it up. After all, why would trucks have to be in the left lane anyway? Ridiculous really. I laugh, but stick to my guns.
A moment passes and a sign approaches. Andree points and remarks, "Look at that sign! It says trucks use left lane and hover crafts use right lane." I'll admit this was pretty funny. We both had a good laugh about it and I even made sure to tell her that she made a funny joke.
Spirits were high as we approached the tunnel. Andree had made a great joke and I was sure I probably made the thing up in my head. I do that from time to time. She even teased me a bit more. However, as we got closer a few more trucks were in the left lane. This gave me a ray of hope. Could I have actually been perceptive enough to pick up on this particle of information before my dear wife did?
Then, the heavens parted, and a sign appeared. "Trucks use left lane."
We both instantly started to laugh and the sense of satisfaction was almost overwhelming. She was wrong and there it was in front of us. For all the teasing she gave me I got it right. I actually got it right.
I spent the next ten minutes trying to pay attention to Andree as I wrote this blog in my head.
I am so proud of myself.
