That just about describes my drive to Sask. It's an easy drive with not much excitement unless someone decides to put in road construction. Thanks Parkside, now let's get moving on finishing that piece, shall we? So what to do besides meditate for those 8 hours, 16 including the round trip?
I usually pack a cooler full of food for lunch and to snack on. The food is usually healthy with the addition of chocolate, which I consider healthy anyway. However in the past as soon as I embark on the trip, pass the ripple chips, thanks. Here's the thing: I can have the bag in my house for months, but as soon as that bag is open, well chow away. So this time I decided to get "healthier" snacks like veggie straws, and similar snack type "junk" to see it that would do the trick. Yep sure did!! All bags are still intact even though 2 snacks were sitting just behind me and within easy reach. No chip hangover. :)
So what to do for the drive? I like to drive in silence because it gives me a chance to reflect and think. Plus I like to look around and see the scenery. However this time I did something a bit different: I challenged myself to do a set of 1000 crunches per leg of drive and there are 4 legs. So yes boys and girls, I did 4000 crunches by the time my drive was over and it kept my fingers out of the snack food. I still did have snacks (including some chocolate covered almonds and I even put a few back into the bag), but because I was hungry not looking for something to keep busy with. Because the crunches worked so well on the drive here, I'm challenging myself for the same back. Oh and chocolate covered almonds are still fair game.
PS Even though the hawks are back, the rabbits in both provinces are still white.

Very good to here. I find reciting Mastery as a good travel companion as well. Time really flies by.
