I’ve lived on this highway most of my life, nearly thirty years in Central Missouri plus a couple at the very tail end in Denver. In all that time, I might have seen a grand total of 300 of the 1400+ miles of asphalt. I’ve decided that when the weather gets warmer, I’m going to start in Ohio and drive the entire distance over the course of a week, documenting it all with video and tweets.

...but I don’t have my Blackjack Gum. When I first watched the movie Pump Up The Volume as a teenager, I immediately went on a search for both of the aforementioned items, neither of which was available in my part of the country at the time. It wasn’t long after that Wal-Mart started carrying Blackjack Gum but it was two years before I set eyes (and tongue) on Wild Cherry Pepsi. I understand that they only make Blackjack Gum in small batches in distant intervals, but you would think that someone, somewhere on the Internet would have a pack for sale, if even for exorbitant prices.

I’ve donated my hair three times, so far, now I’m working on the fourth. The first time, I had 17” whacked off, the other two times were only around 11”. My last donation was in October of 2007 after two and a half years of letting it grow out, so I probably have over a year before I’ll be ready to chop it off again. Fortunately, my hair grows quite fast, because I tend to get the back nearly shaved after each donation.
