Rules for the Road

We gather in Atlanta, GA in less than a week. Anticipation high, we know it's going to be great...

• 4 TO 1: FOR EVERY FOUR HOURS OF DRIVING, ONE HOUR OUT OF THE CAR
• If you pull over, who knows what we’ll discover?

• 2 TO 1: FOR EVERY TWO HOURS WITH HEADPHONES ON, ONE HOUR OFF
• Who knows what you’ll see or hear?

• 1 TO 1: IF WE STOP, WE MAIL A POSTCARD. NO EXCEPTIONS
• Yes, I have lots of stamps

• T-SHIRTS ARE VITAL TO ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THE WORLD

• SLEEP WHEN YOU CAN, BE AWAKE FOR THE GOOD STUFF

• EVERYONE GETS A TURN TO BE THE DECISION-MAKER
• No matter what, everyone else will look happy participating 
• And, sometimes, we’ll make it random & pick from the hat

• WE ALL HAVE ISSUES, PET PEEVES, AND CAN BE DEEPLY ANNOYING TO OTHERS: RESPECT, MOVE ON, IGNORE
• Our mantra for the ride - respect.move on.ignore (lather, rinse, repeat)

• WHEN BAD MOODS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE: Say the word, you’ll get space

• HUNGER KNOWS NO SCHEDULE: SPEAK UP, YOU’LL BE FED 
• yes, the same thing goes for beverages
• and, yes, bathroom breaks need just be requested

• MIND YOUR STUFF, YOUR STUFF WILL FOLLOW YOU; BE CARELESS, YOU LOSE

• MIND YOUR MESS OR THE CAR WILL SMELL (and you will be resented)
