I just returned from Eureka. After 11 hours and fifteen minutes in the car, my butt hurts. In the car we listened to a fictional book-on-tape, Honor Among Thieves, about Saddam Hussein stealing the U.S. declaration of independence with the intent of burning it on July 4th. The story was a bit dated considering the current state of Iraq. The tape finished with 5 more hours of driving to go, and my dad wanted to start the next book-on-tape, even though, at 10 hours long, we couldn't finish it. I didn't think it was a good idea, and I was right. Dad didn't like my suggestion that we quietly meditate on life for the rest of the trip, so we listened to the first two tapes of Hard Rain, and found the third tape was totally blank; moreover, I noticed the last tape was missing. Hopefully the library will believe us when we return it damaged.
