My Journey's Equation

1 cruise-less car
1 person
1 ceramic garden gnome
1182 kilometers of cleared forest and hand-laid tar
3 freshly hit deer carcasses (all before Lloyd might I add)
2 dead porcupines (also in Sasky... these people can't drive...)
9 other random bloody furry messes
1 hamburger (not found on the side of the road)
5 abandoned cars roadside
2 Timmy Ho's stops
5 bathroom breaks
30 minutes lost in construction in Edmonton
$100 gas dollars spent
14 1/2 consecutive hours of my life spent like this (arms straight ahead, staring forward, road noise...)
about 30 text messages
1 pussy mosquito bite
5 others itching uncontrollably (I have confirmed the theory that human saliva is the best temporary mosquito anti-venom)
1 giant metal bridge that was not nearly as scary as previously warned
1 already burnt arm with continuous sun beating on it, the other without (yay for traditional pre-wedding lopsided tan)
3 really good cd's played over and over and over
1 near-death incident involving a large truck and a traffic circle in Edmonton
37 kilometers on the Alaska highway

almost 15 hours of peace and contentment spent with God - priceless
