I went to visit a buddy of mine who lives near Kansas City for a week. Got back a week ago last Sunday. Had a good time. I stayed at my uncle’s house near St. Louis and it split the trip up nicely. It was funny how different driving in IL and driving in Mo is. IL roads are pretty much straight and sometimes veer slightly but that’s it and there’s no hills at all basically. In Mo the highway is curvy and there’s hills and valleys fairly often. I wasn’t used to having to vary how much I push the peddle to stay going the same speed because I’m used to IL highways. It was real weird how huge the difference was and how odd it felt. I didn’t notice it last time because last time I drove down I drove my mom’s car which has cruise control (mine doesn’t).
