The Midwest

Howdy folks! This is going to be the beginning of my multi-part installment of Dale's Crazy Go Nutz World Tour 2006. As some of you may or may not know. I quit my job and have vowed to travel the world....or at least some of it. I'll try to share my adventures on this blog to hopefully entertain\bore others. So here goes....

Arrived in Muncie, Indiana on June 1st....barely. Missed my 7:10am flight so American Airlines put me on standby for a 1:27 pm flight. The cool thing was that I love reading while traveling, so I found a quiet spot in the airport to engross myself in a book for the next 6 hours. The stressful part was wondering if I was going to have a seat on the next flight since flying standby doesn't guarantee your spot. At any rate, everything worked out, and I made it.

Ok, when I left Texas, the weather was hot and humid. Here in the Midwest the weather is more akin to San Diego: mid 70's. Its like airconditioning outside. Nice.

I'm staying with my sister and the Muncie ambassador (see Rod at http://www.myspace.com/rcrossl653) at their kick-ass, newly acquired building located in the heart of this downtown city. It's conveniently located within walking distance of everything you could possibly need, except a grocery store. It's nice being able to walk to a coffee shop, bar, or restaurant.

If you're interested in learning more about Muncie, check out this friggin' hilarious video....I've had the song in my head since I've been here:
