rules of the road

I'm in my fourth state of the day, and I have learned the following:

All roads are under construction.
There has been a lot of rain everywhere.
Everybody has dogs and cats.
It is turkey season.
Clear Channel is almost as bad as Christian radio.
Everybody has a family member in Iraq.
All motels have wireless.
Everybody but me hates Mexicans.
Real estate prices have soared everywhere.
Except in the East, this is a lawless land.
Use cruise control.
