Well I made it.
Timing:
Left Skyline Parking lot (dropped dad off at work) at 7:02 AM EST, arrived at home 10:03 PM CST.
860 miles. 15 hours (I stopped in at my mom's and went to dinner, otherwise it would have been shorter, say 12.5 hours)
Geography:
Crossed 6 state borders and drove through 7 states total.
Drove through 2 tunnels, paid 4 tolls, and went over a damn lot of hills.
Stops made:
Stopped for gas twice, to pee three times, once for lunch, and the aforementioned dinner/grab junk from mom's house and meet their new cat stop.
Music:
Listened to 4 live mixes, 10 Police songs, 12 GWAR songs, 1.5 hours of Big Hair cheesemetal  , and about 3 hours of random EDM singles on my nice new MP3 cd player in ze car.
Beverages:
Drank one bottle of coke, one bottle of Red Fusion Dr. Pepper, one bottle of Mt. Dew, and 2 bottles of Sun Drop. (needed caffeine and I don't drink coffee)
Food:
Ate one Giant Roast Beef from Arby's on the way, half a box of JujyFruits, and some OliveGarden at the aforementioned dinner stop.
Usless factoids from today's adventure:
1. It takes exactly 3 repeats of the As The Rush Comes mix off of Nyana disc 2 to make it through Columbus OH.
2. There is a 40 mile dead zone in Sprint PCS coverage along Interstate 70 starting 4.5 miles west of the W. Virginia/Ohio border. (westward)
3. They are building a new overpass in Dayton, OH that has fighter jets carved into the pillars (actually looks pretty cool  )
4. Indiana is almost exactly 2 hours wide across at the middle.
5. I crossed the Illinois state line exactly 2 minutes before the sun passed beyond the western horizon.
Bah I need to go to bed but I still feel like I am moving
