PR maestro Mike O'Neill is still trucking-- it's Day Two-- and good thing he's doing so on his own time as he's headed from the Northeast to the Southwest by way of Central Michigan...
Day Two: Playing the Father Card
Today is going to be an easy one. My son and I only need to drive about four-and-a-half hours to reach our next stop-- Battle Creek, Mich., home of the world’s most famous tiger-– Tony.
The International DuraStar from Penske continues to perform admirably. None the less, I’ve decided to play the father card today and the kid will be doing all of the driving. A sore neck and sore lower back, which resulted from yesterday’s driving, was enough for me. I’m not sure I like his driving, though. He tends to hug the right side of the lane in which he is driving. I prefer the left side. I figure it would be better to sideswipe someone on the left rather than falling off a mountain on the right. Is one better than the other? We’re anxious to hear your thoughts.
Traveling through northern Ohio on I-80, I couldn’t help but notice that Ohio turnpike officials (or whoever it is that makes these type of decisions) seem to be far less concerned about construction workers' safety than their counterparts in Pennsylvania. In PA, lanes were blocked for several miles before you even saw a worker.
