I lost $20 in 4 minutes

This morning I woke up with a headache, which suck since I'll be driving all day.

As soon as I got on the highway this morning, I see this hitchhicker. I never stop for hitchickers....to dangerous, got to get to work or home, just don't feel like it. Today, I had none of these reasons not to pick her up, so I stopped. I get out to great this woman and she says she is going to Arizona. Mind you I'm in Mobile, AL at this point. She has a long trip in front of her. I told her that I could take her as far as Austin, TX, but she said no. She wanted to get to Arizona non-stop apparently. As I was pulling up, she was waving off a trucker. I'm thinking "beggers can't be choosers"....You know. SInce moving on I have seen 2 other hitchikers, but I didn't stop. Both were men, they might could have tried to kill me. Not that this woman couldn't have done the same had I picked her up, but I did feel as if I could handle her if she became violent.

I stopped in Biloxi, MS to see the Gulf of Mexico. I saw it, photographed it.....Nice!
Oh before I forget. What is Whattaburger? I don't beleive I have heard of or seen that one before. There does seem to be alot of Sonics down here though. Irish and I are always commenting that there isn't Sonic around when you need one.
Ok, back to Biloxi....I also stopped by a casino....lol I told myself I was only going to spend $20, but after loosing it in 4 minutes on the slot machines, I thought differently. I pulled out one more $20, but this time I went to expore the casino. I found Roulette, Craps, & Blackjack. I spent $10 on BlackJack and $10 on Roulette. I was done in 6 minutes...lol Gambling is not for me! It is fun though.
So I am gonna try to listen to all the songs in my iPod in order....well not in straight order, but random or with no repeats...same principle. We'll see how far I get. I noticed that I was doing this after 42 songs. I am currently on 173, not bad I guess. I do have 7816 songs though, it may take longer than this trip.

I drove 565.3 miles on one tank today. That is a new personal best record for me. That is far! That's an average of 34.3 MPG. That's actually what they put on the sticker when you buy the cars, but who actually gets those mileages.....me today...lol

Check out these photos for today.....
