If a sign says 15mph around this curve out West, believe it.

Being late + hunger + fatigue = CRANKY
Nice scenery + being in the moment +

If you don't like the weather -- drive!
Jarad starts to imitate Mickey Mouse when he gets tired.
Elks' preferred diet is lawn grass.
Waiting in line for 5 hours in 100 degree weather is a drag -- even if it's for your favorite rock band.

The book "Great Gatsby" is a lot longer than the movie -- and a lot worse!
The last mules in line get the dust. Bring a bandanna.
If you get a bota, rinse it out with lemon juice (unless you like the taste of plastic).
Don't stand on a sand dune in a lightning storm. Or on an 8500' Mesa top.
