Of Storm-Chasers and Unintentional Child Abandonment

Hello again, everyone! Yesterday and today were... interesting. For one, we saw a homemade storm-chaser vehicle at one of the rest stops. Bristling with antennae and weather devices, and possessing a back end literally plastered with stickers, the vehicle contained a sleeping storm-chaser in the driver seat, and a mound of trash in the front passenger seat. It was very cool. Anyway, today's most interesting thing that has happened so far was when I was in gas station, looking for an elusive bottle of Vanilla Coke. Disappointed yet again in my search, I exited the gas station, just in time to see Mom and Dad driving out of the gas station minus one passenger. Of course, it took a moment for me realize what had happened: "Hey, they're driving away... HOLD ON, THEY'RE DRIVING AWAY!!!" Running quickly towards the camper and waving my hands like an out-of-control windmill, I yelled, "STOP!!!!!" Finally, after catching their attention, I hopped in the truck, glaring at the people who had almost driven away without me. They said their apologies, and we drove off, joking about the whole incident. We're currently travelling on I-80 towards Cheyenne, Wyoming. Keep tuned!
