Dang it's cold out there.

Left Chy's at 8:40am, meaning I spent exactly 24 hours at the rally. Gassed up somewhere in TN and decided that instead of heading back to Brooklyn, I'll swing by PA for the night and spend a bit of Mother's Day with my mom.

Bad idea.

The highest temp I saw all day was 53, and it was a toasty 39 when I rolled into Altoona, PA. To make matters even worse, it's supposed to be 30 when I'll be waking up...but I guess I made my bed, now I'll hafta sleep in it.

Anyways...thanks to all, especially Chy and Di for their unwavering hospitality, Gordon for supplying the beer, and Ryan and Jennifer for offering up the extra bed.

See y'all next year. Hopefully I'll spend more time at the rally than travelling!
