Last night I unexpectedly found myself 30 miles in the opposite direction of my intended destination, with no idea of where I was.

Am I the only one who gets sucked into the movies playing on the backs of peoples' headrests in SUVs and minivans ahead of me at traffic lights, and has to follow just to see how it ends?

    I need to add that to the list of things I've never done and most likely never will.

    You might not be the only one, but you are definitely in a very small minority. 30 miles? Geese.

    A thirty mile detour is like the airline pilot looked up and said "thanks" when the flight attendant brought them a cookie. Whoops, we're over Idaho!

    My favorite quote from that movie was in the same scene.

    “I thought the Rocky Mountains would be more…rocky.”

    “Yeah, that John Denver’s full of Schiit, man.”
