on driving

a) Why is driving so tiring? I mean, seriously, it is a step up from sitting on the couch watching television. But, 10 hours of driving is harder than 10 hours of work.

b) One of the greatest freedoms we Americans have is the ability to speed on the road - speed "limits" should and are considered mere speed "suggestions". Yet, somehow, in this wonderful country, there are people who believe the speed limits should never be achieved, much less approached. When the speed limit is 50, they drive 30. Yet, what makes it worse is that they tend to do it on one-land roads - meaning others behind them are forced to also do 30 mph. This is completely unfair and unamerican.
Who are these people? These non-speeders?
They must be canadian.

c) Back east, you see few RVs. There must be 3 or 4 in all of New York City. If you are ever looking for RVs, go to Yellowstone National Park. More so than even the famous bison, there are literally thousands of them and they are enormous. They come in limitless numbers of sizes and shapes and colors. Driving one looks absolutely insane, but it still would be fun to try it. those guys from south carolina that borat found in his movie looked like they were having a pretty good time.
